I also use the same expression for women... I say I would "kick them in the balls" (even if they don't have balls!), just as an expression of frustration.

And finally, the toilet seat is not an issue in our house. We both find it rather sexist to require anyone to put the seat up or down, just because it's "nicer" for women (to not fall through the seat). That's just plain unfair, especially since we are 50/50 (1 man, 1 woman) in the house. Equal opportunity toilet seat usage.
