It’s barely an advantage. Usually when you get old you experience all your friends and loved ones die until it’s mostly just you waiting to die. Trust me, if that’s the only advantage then it’s not a great one. Peeing standing up alone beats that. But not menstruating? That’s the bees knees

So if I understand you correctly, you'd rather choose to pee standing up than to have a longer life? Is that right?

sounds like a clothing problem to me. is there a market for pants with a zipper that goes all the way down the crotch, so that women can pee standing up?
