Feminism and a world designed for men

There's another factor here - disability; disabled women have been disproportionately affected:

Risk of death from COVID-19 between Jan 24 and Nov 30, 2020, in England was 3·1 times greater for men with disabilities and 3·5 times greater for women with disabilities than for men and women without disabilities.3

plus

10 years ago, WHO's World Report on Disability noted that people with disabilities were more likely to be older, poorer, experience comorbidities, and be female.1

Triple jeopardy: disabled people and the COVID-19 pandemic
 
I used to have a desk at work people had to walk past to get to and from the loos. Let's just say based on how quick men went in and out vs women, I'm not surprised men get ill more, and I'm not incredibly sympathetic about it.

To be fair the way most toilets are designed promotes the transmission of germs eg they're push on the way in and pull on the way out. So even if you wash your hands, to leave you've got to grab something dirty
 
But if you wash your hands, you're not wiping pishy cock germs all over the handle for the next person.
Going to be far less germs on most cocks than on most hands though. They mostly sit inside ones clean pants rather that get rubbed all over door handles and public transport grab rails and stuff in shops (hands that is…) and, unless you are already poorly, most urine is almost sterile.

Colleague of mine used to wash his hands before having a pee, as well as afterwards.

Makes perfect sense. Germ transfer is much more likely to be H to C than C to H. I wash my hands before if I’ve been doing something dirty or been on public transport.
 
Differences between toilets that involve flushing and those that do not is also a factor to consider.

A toilet plume is the dispersal of microscopic particles as a result of flushing a toilet. Normal use of a toilet by healthy individuals is considered unlikely to be a major health risk. However this dynamic changes if an individual is fighting an illness and currently shedding out a virulent pathogen in their urine, feces or vomitus. There is indirect evidence that specific pathogens such as norovirus or SARS coronavirus could potentially be spread by toilet aerosols, but as of 2015, no direct experimental studies had clearly demonstrated or refuted actual disease transmission from toilet aerosols. It has been hypothesized that dispersal of pathogens may be reduced by closing the toilet lid before flushing, and by using toilets with lower flush energy.

 
Similarly I work at a bench that the guys have to walk past to get to the toilet and can confirm that most of the time they do not bother to wash their hands. Edit, in fact it is almost always me that remembers to buy hand soap. Probably because no-one else uses it :rolleyes:

The germless cock is a thing now, like the square root of minus one.
