Single Mother Forces Sons to Sit to Pee

She said, “The girls show them. It’s easier. Also, boys tend to miss the target. Adolescent males create wet floors and seats, so why not end the problem before it starts?”

She explained that she and her two older daughters do it that way without a problem.

Apart from this clear logic, is this mother about to cause her sons long-lasting social and sexual development issues by teaching them to pee the girl’s way?

Some male readers won’t be laughing. They’ll see that peeing on a tree is a rite of passage for growing boys. Tree-peeing may seem appalling to females, but we can’t dismiss the process because males can do it. Sure, the female anatomy points fluid down. Tree-peeing isn’t uppermost in their minds, but males have different plumbing, which comes with a different mindset. Upright peeing is what nature designed. Trees welcome male visits!

Toileting preferences seem like a small issue. It’s inconsequential and, therefore, doesn’t need discussing.

Urine is urine, and it doesn’t matter how it gets into the bowl, just as long as it gets there and goes away. But that kind of disregard erodes little pieces of who we are. Humanity has been peeing for a long time. Our animal identity is being lost to over-rationalization and super-intellectualization. We fight nature, citing our ability to leave it behind and improve with civility, but we lose these battles repeatedly.

I don’t know about you, but our intellectual rationale is responsible for many new human-driven problems. The planet is the dirtiest it’s ever been; animals are becoming extinct, families are breaking down, values and respect are gone, and the gene pool is weak. We’re allergic to life, sensitive to words, and have lost our way to making hard decisions when needed. Our intellect and civility are harmful to us.

This mother is taking an easy way out. She’s solved an immediate toileting issue, but she’s not the owner of a body made of male parts and chemistry. She’s not empathetic to male behaviour or sexual development. She’s a female. She has female biology and chemistry set for female values. She’s half of a whole story. One version of the human story is not enough. One version is wrong because it is just one.

How did I find out about this peeing regime? The father of the children. Yes, the couple are separated and going through a divorce. He’s been trying to get his boys to stand to pee at his new home, but they won’t do it. They are too shy, too afraid to do it. He’s worried they won’t become confident men, and I’m inclined to agree. There’s a certain sense of masculine liberation doing it in a standing position. Don’t ask why. There just is. And it matters.

She fought hard to keep her boys (and girls), and she gets the lion’s share of time with them. With that responsibility came great power. I fear her hatred for their father plays a part in what’s best for her boys, with toileting on her hit list of pet male hates. The last thing she wants is that awful man deleting the clean, feminine sitting traits she’s installed in both boys.

To her, she’s right, and that’s that. There’s no changing it.

I sense another two young males will be lost to this time of hyper-feminism and underlying latent misandry. They’ll struggle to rise to their masculine potential, forever questioning their role in sex and sexuality, most likely blaming their weak fathers for not showing them the right way when they should’ve. Their mother will quietly but gleefully agree.

And this post is only about peeing. There are far more passive male-breaking trends that fly beneath the modern social radar because female decision-makers have the right of way. Males are wrong because they are male. The pendulum of sexism has swung the other way.
