So there shouldn’t be girls’ locker rooms either?

Why do we need girls locker rooms when we’ve had the technology for mixed gender locker rooms for generations? We call them doors and use them even in single gender bathrooms.

Certainly it’s inappropriate for sexual predators to be able to leer at girls or women, but there I also no need to have a lack of privacy from those of the same gender, if that’s what people wish.

I mean, I can see where you’re coming from but locker rooms are a significant part of sport.

Comradery is built in locker rooms and they are where young athletes spend a large portion of their sporting time. This is especially true for certain sports needing significant prep time like (ice) hockey.

With young people already facing a loneliness crisis, we don’t need to be isolating them further to solve a non-problem.

Apparently you’ve never been in a locker room before.

Modern locker rooms can be built with individual stalls so I understand the point being made. Personally though, it’s less efficient to have a locker room with multiple single-serve rooms. Extra material, extra cost, decreased functional area, additional readying time. If you use a locker room frequently you know how invaluable all those things are.

Locker rooms are a little different than bathrooms.

Got this one from tumblr but its something along the lines of we go to the bathroom to shit, not have some special women fun time in there.

If there was a way to have my own room entirely without anyone else that’d be 100% preferred, but gender is the last thing im thinking about when someone’s peeking down the cracks of my stall

Idk, everytime I go partying with friends it definitely seems like womens bathrooms are a communal activity.

Though I can’t really see a party being the best representation for the populace no?
