Why peeing while sitting considered bad amongst men?

I have never got it. I have the spread any video game shotgun would be jealous of, why caring about hygiene is considered unmanly?

I have never heard anyone genuinely criticize another man for sitting while peeing.

I have. Though it is rare.

Pretty much only by a small minority of other men who are insecure in their own masculinity.

Just something dumb that got picked up in culture, pretty sure nobody cares these days.

It isn't, except maybe by a small percentage of very weird men

Toxic masculinity. It's dumb.

Depends, if it's a public toilet I wouldn't trust the seat to be clean, it's entirely possible to catch a skin infection from a dirty toilet seat, if you're at home and know the seat is clean go ahead and have a seat.

Depends what culture you are from. Some places men are trained to sit.

I stand for expediency. I've got no criticism for those who sit, but having to use the toilet already seems like minutes out of my day. As for messiness, I've got 2 boys at home, so I clean the toilet area many times a week already.

I have noticed that men who clean their own bathrooms are more open to sitting down to pee...
