That was an isolated case. But there are a lot of parents there that are teaching their boys to always sit to pee based on the philosophy behind it. Not cleanliness as they claim, but 'because its too dominant' apparently.

I have a hard time believing there's nothing else associated to this to make people believe something done in private is a show of dominance towards someone.

If you check out the Swedish feminist blogs of groups like scum(society for cutting up men) you'll see their main argument is that males who stand up to pee are 'too dominant' essentially the aim is to immasculate men.

Though part of being male is being more aggressive/competitive biologically speaking I would hate for someone to impose on me to act unlike myself just so I'm more neutral when it doesn't harm someone.
Women are not the perfect human being by default and neither are male tendencies evil by default. 
It's no real problem to have differences between the genders so this forced assimilation is off putting, particularly when men are appreciated for who they are. If I wanted a girl I'd be a lesbian.

Both sides are very erratic. Men in the US trying to regulate female birth control is also ridiculous - and the exact same bad behaviour coming out of Sweden.

Yes, that's another "shining" example of sexism and compulsive need for control.
