Yeah, see, no-one is saying that the seat should be put back down because women are incapable of doing so themselves... In three out of four possible scenarios (women defecating, men defecating, women urinating) the seat is down, so doing so is simply a matter of courtesy. Why should the seat be left up for the one instance (men urinating) where that is the optimal arrangement?
The ratio is irrelevant. Where you leave the seat has no impact whatsoever on how many times it has to be moved (except that if you change it unnecessarily, it might then need to be changed back). The only change is who does it.
