...I learned long ago that there are some battles worth fighting, and the position of a toilet seat lid is most definitely not one of them. Who cares what position the seat is in, unless, as Greg mentioned, you have a dog who wants to drink from a less than pristine bowl? I'm a grown-up: I can see whether the seat is up or down and if it needs to come down, put it down all by myself!
I've never heard of anyone (of my gender) not requiring a seat -- at least here in the U.S. There were some holes in Turkey that surprised me a bit. There have been some less than sanitary public restrooms here where I've been happier "hovering" rather than sitting, but that's pretty rare.
Perhaps the lady in question was simply being polite, and leaving the seat up for you? Surely that's just as polite as you trying to leave it down for her?

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
