Sasha says that UTIs are more likely to occur in men than in women. He says that this is because the male urethra is shorter, making it easier for bacteria to travel to the bladder. What is Sasha’s mistake?

Women have a shorter urethra than men, not a longer one. Because bacteria have a shorter distance to travel to reach the bladder, UTIs are generally more common in women. Sasha’s mistake is reversing which sex has the shorter urethra.
