Ask any woman to compare sexes and she will offer proof men have it easy.

A man has no periods or pregnancy to endure, and there is no struggle to stay dry when he urinates outdoors.

Maybe that last scenario is not a usual protest from the fairer sex, but a Canadian distributor sells a stand-up product to make men and women equals in that category. The plastic, funnel-like object retails online for $15.50 plus taxes. An illustration on Shewee's website shows the 17-cm device tucked into a woman's private area, allowing her to pee without squatting or removing her clothes.

Product info claims Shewee is ideal for women who aren't near a biffy when nature calls, such as while they are fishing, hiking, or doing other outdoor activities.
