I grew up with a dog. The toilet seat was always kept down to keep him away from drinking it, because we had toilet cleaning pucks in the tank that would have potentially poisoned him. Nothing to do with gender at all.

Also the mythbusters episode on toilet water splashing out onto bathroom surfaces scarred me as a child. We have a soft-close lid and I wait a few seconds for it to get to a low angle before I even flush.

    The mythbusters episode convinced me. That water flush makes everything spiral upwards, and it lands in your toothbrush.

    People who don't put the toilet seat down are unaware they're brushing with shit particles.

    There are such things in this world as particles.
    Particles so small that you cannot possibly detect it with your naked eyes.
    And I put it to you that there are particles of human shit lingering in the fibers of your underpants.
