Men's Liberation
This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.
Rules
Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people
Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.
Be productive
Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:
- Build upon the OP
- Discuss concepts rather than semantics
- No low effort comments
- No personal attacks
Assume good faith
Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.
No bigotry
Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.
No brigading
Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.

Had I not been to the US this would have made little sense to me. US toilets and ours (NZ) are very different (the scrotal sag would have to be pretty epic to reach the water here).
Dutch toilets with their poo-presentation shelf are different too. And then there's squat toilets.
So many ways to excrete, so little time...
Holy fuck, I hate so much those toilets. Why on earth do they use that?!
Meat used to have a lot more parasites and raw pork is a delicacy there.
So you can inspect your feces for health issues is the reasoning I've heard.
But the furthest I've gotten into another country involved a cruise ship.
The only other time I left the country was to Canada,and that was just a quick trip across the border for a few hours. And mostly to say I visited 3 countries in one week lol.
Maybe they don't want Poseidon's creepy ass kissing them
Many homes in the USA, especially ones with wells are low water as well. It would make me crazy having so much water splashing around so high.
Then don't piss on the water, piss on the side of the bowl to make it spiral instead of splash.
You got this homie, just practice your aim.. 👍
Sounds like more water would make that harder again. Unsure what benefit it offers
That would explain the comment about nuts lol, I was perplexed by it. Just searched for American toilets and lmao what's the deal with so little space between where you are sitting and the waterline??
