Urinated we stand
Equality between men and women takes strange forms some times. One of the last bastions to fall, apparently, is the way that the two sexes answer the call to nature. Organisers of Melbourne's "Big Day Out" concert plan to instal women's stand-up urinals in a bid to cut loo queues and offer women a more hygienic option to conventional toilets. While organisers agree it might take some a little practice, they believe women will quickly adapt to the idea of peeing while standing.
