Let's also remember that all women after Eve are also punished by males having dominion over them.

Re: If we're talking about the fall,

I got a policy about that. She likes it down, she can leave it down. I like it up, I'll leave it up. Why is her desire of greater value then mine?
​
Well, personally don't much care about where the seat ends up, except in the middle of the night when you want to leave the lights off. Also,if he can't be neat, PLEASE put the seat UP.
​
I can think of one reason that a woman's preference might take precedence over a man's in this instance.
​
A woman always uses the seat, but a man only uses the seat part of the time. Since between them the seat is used more down than it is left up, and since a man can (technically) use the toilet with the seat down all the time, it could be seen as fair to concede to the female's preference.
