I think the main reason for this is to prevent assholes with penises from peeing all over the seat in the woman's room.

It's less an issue in Europe, where people with penises are expected to sit when peeing

    I don't hang in the women's bathrooms, but from what I've heard from the people that do, you're much more likely to have assholes with vaginas peeing all over the seats.

    A man can, and typically will, lift the seat if he feels the need to stand to pee. As I understand it, women won't lift the seat to hover-pee.

    As a man who is absolutely exhausted from life, I don't know why anyone would stand when they can sit, whether it's peeing, working, reading a book, whatever.
