I see it as a psychological thing: nowadays women can do almost anything men can do except stand up to pee. If we give that up, we might as well just dig a hole and crawl into it…

Actually, there’s a whole thing out there about women peeing standing up. In college, people would get all into learning how to do it, because that made you COOL, and super-feminist.

The only explanation for it I ever heard that made sense was that it might be useful in clubs with really filthy bathrooms. I flatly refused to get involved with this. It seemed like too much trouble.

Occasionally, when I’ve had to use the BART station bathrooms I have reconsidered this stance. So to speak.
