Technology to Solve One of Woman's Oldest Problems?

The lids lifted up when I approached. If I stood in front of one, it took a guess at my gender and lifted up the seat as well.

The BBC on how toilets are going to solve the classic "seat down" dilemma, improve our lives, and also bring world peace.

I suppose that's nice, but I see a new wave of psychological problems in those women for who the toilet, for some reason, consistently guesses wrong.

If I was of the female persuasion, then my toilet's opinion of my femininity would matter an enormous amount.

Touché. I'm still seeing it, though. I guess it would depend on the toilet's manner of determining sex (looks? pheromones?). Plus, girls get sensitive about weird things.
