Fenna-Nag women in Germany irate with urinals at Rolling Stones Museum

A big part of this story is the feeling among the women in Germany that men are not allowed to urinate standing up because they feel its offensive toward women.  This caused me to have a huge fight on a message board once because I strongly feel that MEN ARE SUPPOSED TO PISS STANDING UP and not relieve themselves like women.  
Spinner reports the Rolling Stones were masters of controversy in their heyday, but now it's their legacy which is causing a stir.

A soon-to-be-opened museum in the German town of Luechow has had female fans in an a tiff over the urinals in the men's room, the
L.A. Times reports. The urinals are based on the band's infamous red lips-and-tongue logo, which designer John Pasche created in 1971 and modeled after Mick Jagger's impressive mouth.
"It's discrimination against women," Roda Armbruster, a "local feminist," as the L.A. Times calls her. If the urinals featured a tongue, "it would have been acceptable," because otherwise the connection to Jagger would be made explicit (in the non-offensive way, we assume). Without it she claims, "It's a woman's mouth, not a man's mouth."
Get over ladies!  There are differences between the sexes and one of them is how we take a leak.
