The point of having a toilet seat
LID isn't just to have somewhere to sit when you dry your feet after a shower.
The LID should be DOWN to prevent fine contaminated water spray particles from permeating the bathroom air.
So when a man uses the toilet he should lift both
seat and lid at the same time , and lower both afterwards.
When a woman uses the toilet she needs to lift the
lid only, and lower it afterwards.
This is an
equal division of effort between users.
