Austrian political party wants women to pee standing up

Publish date: 2024-07-18

An Austrian political party hopes to make a big splash at an upcoming women’s breakfast — by teaching them how to urinate standing up.

An expert on female pelvic exercises will attend the event by the Green Party in Perchtoldsdorf, where women will use homemade, single-use urine receptacles, The Local reported.

When news leaked about the breakfast, social users unleashed a stream of mockery.

One user said “doing it at breakfast does make sense — coffee pushes everything through.”

But women took advantage of the golden opportunity to tout the benefits of upstanding urination.

“Only a man who has never been on a completely piss-covered women’s toilet can’t see the necessity of such a lesson,” one said.

Local councilor Martha Günzl told the Der Westen news site in Germany that she was a wee surprised by the backlash.

“We always discuss controversial subjects, but because we are just a local group nobody has ever shown any interest up until now,” she said.

She said a couple of male Green Party members would be on standby at the event Saturday because she has received “many nasty emails” about the theme.
