Would someone please flush a Koran for these idiots? That should be enough paper.
>As such, they provide a fertile ground for critical work interrogating how conventional assumptions about the body, sexuality, privacy, and technology can be formed in public space and inscribed through design.<
This has to be the most asinine sentence I’ve read in a long time. Use of the word ‘fertile’ after describing illicit sexual conduct in public toilets… is the ‘Prof’ trying to be funny? ‘Critical work interrogating conventional assumptions’? What assumptions?? Just the facts, mister.
‘Interrogating’ how to pee? Damn… what with all the sexuality, privacy, body stuff, and technology we need to assimilate in order to write up to 7,000 words of a coherent exegesis on how to ponder gender differences in elimination just boggle my mind. In fact, it wipes my ass. This U.Mass professor is a naughty boy living out some childhood perversion methinks.
I’m not sure whether to be amazed or angry that someone actually gets paid to write/think/teach such assinine drivel.
The pissoir might be sexually charged at a public bath or if a couple of homos meet for a quickie, but otherwise it’s usually a mundane place to relieve a little non-sexual pressure.
I’ll bet this pseud bitch is searching for some leverage to make men sit to piss and probably would travel a long way to see “Vagina Monologues”, in fact probably has the DVD if one exists.

When I first read
‘We invite contributions for the edited collection “Toilet Papers: The Gendered Construction of Public Toilets”.’
I thought maybe some coeds were asking for money so they could build public restrooms entirely out of toilet paper with writing on it, then of course I read a bit further and was disappointed.
Regarding comment #1, do you think if someone were to reprint the Koran onto rolls of toilet paper there might there be a market for it?
So again, professorial quacks have raised silliness to a new level of epic grandeur.
Your tax dollars at work.
