Bare bum in dressing room , AIBU.

@pinkboa Are you actually saying that you husband takes your daughter into the women's changing rooms? Do you think it's fair that young girls may be getting changed with him there? I'm genuinely shocked that you think that is fine.

So if your husband took your 4yo daughter swimming, you’d think it ok if he went into the women’s changing room?

Jesus wept, what have I just read.

This is brilliant.

This is hilarious. You sat in the opposite sex changing room for half an hour and find it weird that a man got changed in there and briefly showed his backside. Seriously! His daughters saw his naked body and other males; the horror!
Stop sitting in changing rooms, watching people. Your behaviour is odd not the man getting changed. Sit in the reception or in the women’s but be careful you may see a breast in there.

To be honest, there is a case for that man reporting you! Perving in the men's changing. Dirty cah.

You're a woman in a men's changing room and you think it's outrageous that a man was naked in there
Have a word with yourself.

I’m going to be late for my hair appointment thanks to this thread!

It's a bit grim I mean if genitalia was pretty we wouldn't be bothered about covering it up would we

Not prudish and I know we’ve all got a body, but this was totally unnecessary. It could have been other little girls besides his daughter. He should have used a cubicle or been discreet behind a towel.

I would say the rules are:

Unisex changing room - everyone showers in swimming costume then uses cubicle.

Male changing - Suitable for men, boys of all ages and girls under 8 with their dads. No females over 8 should be there. Cubicles optional as is male space.

Female changing - Suitable for women, girls of all ages and boys under 8 with their mums. No males over 8 should be there. Cubicles optional as is female space.

Loopy

But so
Entertaining

The deletion message 🙄--

So @pinkboa, why do you think it’s not ok for someone to be naked in front of someone else’s children IN A CHANGING ROOM? It’s perfectly normal and I really hope you haven’t passed on to your children your - frankly odd - ideas about the acceptability of nakedness in a changing room.

I'm so confused. Why was the op sat in the men's changing room? If you can't sit in the pool area then presumably there's a suitable reception area to sit in? I would find it more odd that you choose to wait in there than that -shock horror- someone is getting changed in a changing room....!

So you were angry that there was a naked man in the MENS changing room??
You shouldn’t have been in there !
YABMU

I thought you must be a dad when I read the OP. YABU to go in the men's changing rooms, especially to sit there for ages. If it had been a unisex charging room the Dad should have gone in the cubicle but in the men's male nudity is expected. Of course there will be young girls in the men's if their Dads have taken them swimming.

Oh this has made my morning! Now all I can think about is hairy bums and naked men....
I'd like to thank you OP for making me laugh and laugh on this miserable wet Wednesday morning.

Ahh, hadn't seen it was a blokes changing room! I take it back if that's the case!

I don't know what female changing rooms are like but according to my wife most of them have cubicles to get changed in. Most of the male changing rooms I have used there is very little privacy, you are expected to change in a communal area and shower in a communal shower. One of my mates used to shower with his shorts on claiming it was for religious reasons.

Yuk. I wouldn't like that either. I'm no pearl clutched but just seems unnecessary.
I'm very private about my body unless in my own home.

You should have been kicked out of there tbh,if a man had done the same then complained about seeing a flange they would be uproar!!

I see this post ending up on ‘Mumsnet Madness’ on Twitter!

A bare arse you say? Blimey, I’d have had a stroke.

This quote, right here, is so underrated. Genuinely, tears down cheeks funny.

The thread over all is brilliant. Classic MN stuff. Although I do wonder if the OP is whoever it is that regularly posts deliberate troll threads to get everyone frothing. Can't remember which poster it is that has admitted to being the originator of a number of the funniest threads. The sudden dropping in of the being in the men's changing, and obtuse subsequent posts

I’ve been a member of various local gyms/fitness centres/sports clubs for over 40 years. In that whole time it’s been perfectly normal for me and other women to be completely naked in the women’s changing rooms and showers. This includes the lengthy period that my DC were often with me in said women’s changing rooms as were the male and female DC of friends and teammates. It was never an issue, the naked body is appropriate in that space.

Two provisos - I know a couple of women who were self conscious about nakedness who stripped under a towel facing the wall. That was their choice and they didn’t look to impose their preferences on others. Again, it was never an issue and I only became aware of it because my BFF was one of those women and we had discussed the changing facilities before she joined the gym I went to.

The second proviso is that at some point the boys stopped coming into the women’s changing rooms with their mums. I couldn’t say exactly how old they were (maybe around 7?) but obviously at some point the family decided they were too old to be in the opposite sex changing room just like the OP is
