Why do women want flush toilets?

I don't mean to be indelicate here, but this question has been bugging me!

My IRL women friends are as confused by it as I am. But I often see men on camping forums saying that their ladies insist on campgrounds that have 'em, or prefer an RV because it has one. I less often see women posting the same thing.

But what am I missing? Am I doing ladyperson wrong?

  • If she prefers an outhouse over a flush toilet?
    Maybe that's the difference between a lady and, something else..... :@

    But I do have a paranoid fear of dropping something in there. I take everything out of my pockets, or zip them securely.

    I suspect some women have a subconscious fear of falling in. It's also very unpleasant to deal with a small child sitting on one.


    We have similar thoughts. When I go into a porta potty for #1 the first thing I do it close the lid on the seat if it has one. I'm always thinking about dropping something in the tank.
  • Clearly it's because they have to be intimately in contact with them.
    So it makes sense to me.

    I love this illustration!

    Is that a very low baseball cap, though, or a giant caucasian nose?

  • I always assumed that all sexes wanted flush toilets. For sure, I always insist on all basic conveniences and comforts.
  • Ladies are into aromatherapy more than guys. The smell of a pit toilet is a big negative. Your manly musk can't compete. ;)
  • I'm still wondering how my wife can squat on a toilet with her feet on the toilet seat.
  • It could be that when a woman backs up to a pit toilet or some nasty toilet that she can't see what could jump on her. Just sayin...
