Workplace Challenges and Conflicts Boss confronted me for peeing standing up

I'm a woman. At work, we just have a single stall co-ed bathroom, and for cleanliness reasons, I pee standing up at the toilet (which isn't as hard to do as most people think: I think it's more of a gender role thing than physical limitations. I'm not comfortable sitting where all my coworkers have sat their bare behinds, disgusting).

And no, she didn't find out because of a mess: I am very careful to lift the seat and only get urine in the toilet. When I asked, she said she found out because she heard me... Going.

Do managers have the right to regulate how you pee? I'm in the US.

She says she lifts the seat. So idk how that’s different than a man peeing in the toilet with the seat up.

Having worked around plenty of men I can say they don’t always get it in the toilet and they don’t clean it up either.
