Female Ejacualate, Stress Incontinence, or simply a defense mechanism against UTIs?

This question has been bothering me for a while: What exactly is squirting? Is it involuntary peeing or ejaculation? I am aware of all the articles out there that answer this question so before anyone comments, please read the whole thing.

When looking up squirting, I find that it's either considered a response to sexual excitement or accidentally peeing during sexual engagement. I personally find the female ejaculation claim to be illogical considering that some women claim that they can "squirt without having an orgasm or right before or after one. When considering how ejaculating and orgasming are simulations in men and that theres a claim that not all women have a Skenes gland it doesn't make sense. The idea of accidental urination have a more logical approach, but it doesn't seem to be caused by incontinence.

Lots of articles on the internet claim that if a woman either has the urge to pee or "squirts" while being penetrated, she has stress incontinence. This doesn't make sense for 2 reasons: if she doesn't have this problem when she's not sexually aroused, why would penetration make her incontinent?Stress incontinence doesn't only involve pressure from penetration. Any pressure on the bladder would cause that regardless of entering her vagina. Second, scientists have done scans on the female bladder and found that the bladder fills up quicker during sexual arousal.

The answer might be that this involuntary act may be the body's way of protecting you from UTIs. Consider the anatomy of the male and female reproductive system. Females have a shorter urethra and are more likely to get UTIs from sexual contact. We are all aware of the recommendation to pee right after sexual activity correct? Well, what if the female body was already trying to protect itself from UTIs? Suppose the urge to pee during penetration is really your body's way of saying "time to clean your urethra". If your bladder is already full, the urge will obviously be stronger and science has proved that the liquid expelled in the bladder does have small amounts of proteins similar to that found in the male prostate. So what if the if the female bladder also serves as the female prostate and the emission of the mix of liquid serves to protect you from getting a UTI caused by sexual contact?

Women aren't assimilating to men by evolving to ejaculate. They've evolved an involuntary behavior that protects the genitals from unwanted bacteria. How about that!
