Guess it's time to give up this whole "feminism" thing, because we can now pee standing up.
The P-Mate is "a revolutionary way for women to pee discreetly without having to pull down their pants and squat." As far as I can tell, it’s no joke.
How can it be, you ask? The P-Mate is basically like a cardboard shoe with the toe cut off. You place the entrance of the 'shoe' directly under your urethra, between your legs, pee into the shoe and then make sure that the hole at the toe end is funnelling the urine out somewhere other than on your feet.
If you can get past the icky peeing-into-a-cardboard-tube thing, this is true potty parity.

holy shit, i totally remember something like this featured in the old Sassy magazine. i thought it was so strange...i think it would be great for road trips...
I'm thinking it'd be handy for camping trips...
But still ridickulously silly (pun intended).
Actually, women can pee standing up simply by pulling back the labia so the pee can travel freely. It takes a little practice but guys have to practice aiming too.
Supposedly, women in the 18th c. used to pee this way all the time, since their skirts were too complicated for a "lift and crouch" type move every time they had to piss.
Bah, who needs a funnel? See the "tutorial" here and start practicing!
