A local wing of
Austria’s Green Party has stirred an uncommon interest online and in neighboring
Germany with its agenda for a: teaching
women how to urinate standing up.
The Green Party
in Perchtoldsdorf, Lower Austria, which for the past 12 years has held “women’s
breakfasts” to discuss social and political issues, said the meeting will be
“everything that concerns the pelvic base.”
The party said
the discussion will include instructions on how to urinate from a standing
position at music festivals, sporting events, and other locations where unclean
restrooms are likely to be found.
The participants
at the meeting will be instructed by an expert on how to build simple devices
to assist with standing urination, organizers said.
Martha Gunzl, a
local councilor and Green Party member, said she and other organizers were
shocked at how much attention the planned meeting has been gathering online.
“We always
discuss controversial subjects, but because we are just a local group nobody
has ever shown any interest up until now,” she told Der Westen.
Gunzl said a few
male members of the local party will be on hand to help with security, because
the increased interest has led to “many nasty emails.”
The planned
discussion has led to much mockery on Austrian social media, with one user
saying “doing it at breakfast does make sense – coffee pushes everything
through.”
But women have
also come to the defence of the Green Party, with one saying “only a man who
has never been on a completely piss-covered women’s toilet can’t see the
necessity of such a lesson.”
