Men in women's changing rooms

My husband wouldn't even do that as he wouldn't want to look a weirdo?! Sat in the middle of a bunch of female changing cubicles like a pest.

What's wrong with the old way of coming out dressed and showing your husband/ partner outside while he sits bored at the entrance of the changing room? Did anyone ever complain about that?

Shops can't keep up with what is expected of them through fear of a backlash or they are trying to be the trend setters of oh look how forward thinking we are and inclusive, (meanwhile let's fuck everyone else off).

Yuk those reviews! At least they don’t have photos - unlike amazon (some of those are yikes/semi porn).

When I was pregnant recently, I went shopping in M&S for maternity leggings.

It turned out that M&S had stopped selling all maternity clothes in store and I could only buy them online (with an extra charge for shipping, of course).

So, it seems to me that M&S care about including men in women's spaces and they care about serving certain sorts of women, but they are not interested in providing an in-store service for pregnant women.

Now I have a child and I don't bother shopping in M&S for either of us. That's okay, though, because I don't suppose a working mother with a young child is in any way the target demographic for M&S.

I was in Marks the other day and exactly the same with a man plonked right in the middle waiting for his partner. Had obviously waited until no staff around as when an assistant spotted him, she went straight over and asked him to leave, which he did.

Seems some have had the memo and others not.

@PaperTrails "When I came out of the changing room his two kids were there. Both boys. Getting a lesson from both their parents that it's ok for a man just to walk into a women's changing room."

That is pretty much what the boys were being taught. Same as if a man were to take his young DD into the female change room or a mum her DS into the men's, totally inappropriate. Adults are entitled to privacy from opposite sex adults in these places.

I hoe you didn’t buy anything there @Moggyd and I hope you spoke to a manager to tell them that.

It’s all about men who think they’re women wanting validation by admittance to women’s spaces.

Men/handmaidens seeking to shame women into obliterating women's well-founded boundaries.

Nasty bastards, in other words. Women have boundaries for a reason. Mostly involving men and male sexual perversions and violence. But M&S fail to see ...

I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make in all these comments. A woman was so disturbed by finding a man in the women’s changing room that she no longer felt comfortable coming out and showing her friend what she was trying on. Is that hard to understand? If so, why? It seems pretty understandable to me.

It's a shame I used to enjoy the occasional clothing shopping trip but if I'm not safe/private in woman's only changing rooms (or completely lockable cubicles that open directly onto the shop floor) then I just don't feel welcome.
I now just shop online - mostly secondhand because it all looks the same online and I don't spend as much because it's so boring.

Shame because it will be sad when the high street goes, but I guess we'll still have the coffee and interior shop and nail bars.

Oh wait you said woman 😂 misread.

Anyway those are 🤢🤢🤢

His meat and two veg?

Remember, these are all moderated.

What would a woman need to be “held still”?

About two or three years ago many of us wrote to M and S about their policies about this. The responses were unanimously dismissive of womens views and many of us vowed that we would not use the stores again. Nothing has changed our mind.

You know I've never actually even clicked until this post that most shops changing rooms are for everyone lol! It clearly hadn't even phased me that I am changing next door to a male. I recently went to m&s for bra measurements and was trying them on with the assistant my DD was sat outside the room waiting and there was a guy waiting on his wife also being fitted and I never even blinked and eye lid that I was stood there in my bra. Weird I've never ever noticed this xxx

Look at each item on their website. I only hope, for their sake, crossdressingpete and friends spend enough to keep M&S going because I won't be spending money there

If you’ve a cast iron stomach just checkout the reviews men are giving of the womens’ knickers. 🤮

I’ve been boycotting M+S over this for about 3 years now.

So M&S believe that if men get angry women should submit? That’s their corporate position?
