Mother upsets daughter changing for swimming

[Twig45]

AIBU please tell me if I am but at swimming lessons with 2 of my ds in woman's changing rooms which has lots of cubicles. One mother is completely starkers at the lockers ( she is big lady so taking up a lot of room) she is getting dressed and shouting at her daughter who is over the other side with her back turned. Daughter is about 10 and is shouting mum you are so embarrassing there is loads of cubicles and everyone is staring. Mum is shouting it is you making everyone stare with your constant whining about everything. Everyone is staring because of the noise and because she is completely starkers and not even starting to get dressed AIBU to think this poor daughter was absolutely embarrassed and humiliated.

Claryl, the thing about the veil and the church was an example, as I'm sure you know.

Natsku, it can be male or female. In many cultures men are required to dress modestly as well.

But in what culture is it unacceptable for someone to be undressed in a changing room strictly limited to their own sex? None.

No word on how old the OPs sons are then?

Exactly. An example I made to show that these standards are pretty arbitrary and really depend on culture. What somebody in the US (or U.K.) may call 'modest' would be positively indecent in (for example!) Saudi Arabia.

And anyhow, even in very modest cultures things like saunas, bathhouses, all female beaches etc allow for nakedness amongst people of the same gender.

I think I missed something. Sons? Is that the issue? That her sons saw a naked woman (in the women's changing room...)?

"But in what culture is it unacceptable for someone to be undressed in a changing room strictly limited to their own sex? None."

Whether you like it or not unnecessary and overt complete nudity is sometimes frowned upon even in changing rooms in Britain. That might be silly, but the little girl was reflecting something that's part of our culture.

The sons are not the issue. I think someone is trying to start a separate argument about boys in women's changing rooms.

It is sometimes frowned upon by some (silly) people but it is not considered on a wholescale basis to be improper or unacceptable.
