Well, of course... unless you like sitting in toilet water. Most females would. Why did you ask such a weird question? A suggestion Gomer, put away the vodka.

Don't businesses have bathrooms in buildings or restaurants? Are they without toilet seats as well?

Secondly while in Russia one learns quite quickly the art of climbing on the toilet. Who needs to sit down anyway? Thirdly, I don't visit business places and have absolutely nothing to do with five star hotels. I am regular student bum.

This is why I rethink living in the US. Men here (except most in KY) tend to treat women better and certainly there are bathrooms and rest areas where women can use a bathroom without giving herself a charley horse stradling the toilet. I guess that is easier said than done when you men stand up and use the restroom. God forbid if you have any sympathy for the women in this world.... Just my opinion...

FYI not all men stand to go to the bathroom. Try standing to pee at 3:00am in the morning with two eyes in one socket and a hangover...it doesn't work. Unless you have a very good housekeeper that is willing to clean the bathroom floor.

If you've ever been balancing yourself precariously on the seat in the squat position and the seat suddenly breaks, well you get the picture. Maybe to prevent such surprises, people go ahead and remove the seat.

It startled me the first time sitting down on it when rocked back and forth on it's base, then having to brace for the walls.

I think I will pass, I avoid those types of toilets. I rather go in the woods.

Are they that common over the normal toilets? I cannot imagine being in a dress, pantyhose and heels trying to use those toilets....eeeee!
