I mean, it's no harder for a woman to lower it when needed than for a man to raise it. Actually, easier, given gravity (though gravity is a theory and may not apply in some households). Why do men have to raise it? Though, to be fair, in my household it was my wife who failed to lower the toilet seat. I always closed the entire lid, because my cats were always falling in the darned bowl, and there's nothing worse than a wet cat. Well, that's not true, I mean, my youngest daughter got her finger slammed in the car door once, and that was worse. But still, a wet cat is something to avoid, so she could have just lowered the darned lid like I did, but no, she was too special to have to, all because she made a lot more than I did and was a bank VP and stuff, and I stayed home with the kids and sacrificed a meaningful career so I could cook and clean and...
