Thread: Asserting the equality of women's pee

There we were in Heaven, having an interesting chat about making compost, and up comes the idea that women's urine is not suitable for activating a compost heap because our hideously dangerous hormones may contaminate the vegetables and affect some man's potency.
I am SICK AND TIRED of this bloody nonsense. If you men would just get a grip on yourselves and your desperate fear of women WE WOULD ALL BE A LOT BETTER OFF. These stupid idiot things men think up to restrict women's legitimate activities and assert that female bodies and their products are not as natural and normal as male bodies make me
And I'm certainly going to carry on peeing on my own compost heap. Even if it does threaten some silly little man's precious and fragile masculinity.
FUCK OFF the whole lot of you

Normally at about this point I make an excuse and head out to the garden (or the garage if it's raining) for a couple of hours.

...and you'd find it likely that estrogenic hormones disrupt male (not just humans, or even mammals) endocrine systems through the water system, but that it's also likely that estrogenic hormones are rapidly destroyed by microbial action within temperate soils.
My advice would be to dig it well in during winter and spring, and wash all produce in fresh water.

But of course, Pete. I have a half dozen bottles of Abbot Ale, and we can pee out of the window - won't do any harm.

I don't remember being asked to eat anything from your garden.
However, if you do invite me to eat something from your garden, I would be glad to do so.
May I assume your compost heap is in a rather private area?

If this is true (and I haven't the foggiest whether it is or not), then is just shows our superiority over the male species Chaomois. We're stronger.
Unless of course, their hormones in their pee disrupts our endocrine systems......
....in which case the point seems rather moot.

Being a man, if I don't get a grip on myself when I pee, as Chamois suggest/demands, I might miss the compost heap entirely. I can write my name on it, which women can't do. If I eat beets first, I can write my name in neon. If I drink enough water, I may be able to pee over the top of the compost heap. Which women can't do, as far as I know. My apologies to Marvin for pissing on this Hell thread. [ 02. June 2012, 13:34: Message edited by: Silver Faux ]

By the way, Chagas is a tropical/sub-tropical diesease spread by an insect which bites sensitive areas, poops a parasite into them, and goes merrily on its way. When the "host" scratches the itch, the parasite enters the "wound." Apparently, 20,000 people die of it annually, mainly in Latin America and the southern regions of North America. The insect likes to bite human faces, but also happily munches on sensitive nether regions. Peeing on a compost heap might bring on a close encounter with Chagas. Wouldn't that piss you off?

And you'd find that both men and women have both supposedly "male" and "female" hormones. Women have more of some hormones, men more of others, but we all have the same ones. We differ in the ways our cells respond to the same hormones.
And because there is a large variation between individuals in the amounts of sec hormones they have - in fact a huge variation - a man who releases lots of sex hormones may have more supposedly female hormones than many women do. And vice versa.
And because the quantity of sex hormones produced by women tends to decline faster in middle age than the quantity produced my men, men in their fifties and sixties quite often have more so-called female hormones than women of the same age do.
And you'd also find that all the birds and the bees and the little furry animals and the creepy-crawlies have hormones too. (Though invertebrates have different ones from us). And plants have hormones. And ferns even release their sperm into the soil in large quantities where they swim around. So its all going on out there whether you piss in your garden or not.

OK, two things:
1. What kind of knuckle-dragging moron passing for a scientist believes that, after 1-2 million years of evolution (depending who you ask), in which only about 200 of those years involve people using toilets, the earth's biosystem hasn't learned to cope with human female pee?
2. For God's sake, don't get anyone started about peeing in the shower. People flip right the hell out over that.

There are only two kinds of people in the world.

and

I think the whole fight about hormones in urine is a tempest in a peepot.

In the city where I live, up until quite recently (historically speaking) you would be quite grateful if the compost heap was the only place drenched in piss (Gardy loo!). It has variously been used for tanning leather, fulling cloth, washing the face and cleaning the teeth (note the presence of 'urea' in certain skin creams to this day).
So, be Piss Proud. Widdle on your veggies to your heart's content (though maybe steer clear of the globe artichoke) and dinnae get your knickers in a twist.

I've never found it difficult to pee standing up, even without a "urination device".
They're called hands. You use them to direct the flow of urine. Messy, but practical.

No one would want to pee in the compost if they already had lots of the proper chemicals with the right pH and all, ready to hand, for free. But, why bother going to buy the stuff when your kidneys can make urea and stuff?
Save the money to buy a good beer so you can make some more free urinary heap-activator.
Why am I suddenly thinking of Uriah Heep?

It's the major alternative to phosophate rock, and mining phosphate is an environmentally messy business. So definitely there's something to be said for urine as fertilizer.

One of the compost books I recommended on that heavenly thread mentions the idea that female urine is no good, but only to dismiss it. What nonsense! piss is piss. The late, Sainted Lawrence Hills, doyen of organic gardeners, called it "Household liquid compost activator". Grammatica - compost activator, not fertiliser. [ 03.

What about men who eat asparagus in spring and then pee green with a stinky old-socks pee? They should be barred from the compost.
Far more men than women react to the consumption of asparagus by exuding volatile compounds such as
Methanethiol Dimethyl sulfide Dimethyl disufide Dimethyl sulfoxide Dimethyl sulfone
In other words, sulphurous men.
