Men sat in women's changing rooms

[nycfrog]

AIBU to get annoyed with women who plop their (male) SOs on the stools/seating in changing rooms?

Yesterday I needed the store assistant to help me with the back of a dress - on the way out of the changing rooms I realised my bare back had basically been exposed to a random bloke sat at the entrance. I know the shop assistant probably could have been more discreet but aibu to think they could sit somewhere else?

I mean, I've seen "Don't fucking @ me" before but don't even reference my name, what's all that about lol, that's a new one

It's utterly bizarre. Who died and left her in charge?

I just don't get why people come onto discussions but can't cope when they encounter different viewpoints, I mean WTF In the absence of a quote facility, bolding to show what you are referring to is common sense, surely, how else do you respond to a point? It reads like "don't question me, shut up, go away!" I find it strange lol

Imagine being married to the sort of prick that thinks it's ok to be inside a women's changing room.

I reckon she got on her high horse thinking bolding the name is the same as @ ING someone. Otherwise, as you say, how can respond to a point?

I know there's a lot of people who don't want it but I sometimes think a like button would be better. You sometimes just want to say you agree without having to quote a post or name someone and you end up with several people making the same point.

That's the issue, came on, misunderstood the points made by a lot posters or didn't bother to actually read the thread. Gives everyone a lecture then flounces when they realise they got the wrong end if the stick.

P.s sorry for bolding your names

I think you've hit the nail on the head there Igotthemheavyboobs and no problem bolding our names 😄

sometimes people seem to forget that this forum is open to anyone, and attracts some weirdos with very unhealthy and disturbing imagination - because what the fuck do you think happens in a woman's changing room exactly? Semi or fully naked female parading around eating grapes or something?

@ThatMuppetShow, apparently every man near change rooms is there to at best “gawp” and at worst assult.

@lovepoppy

Not near a changing room, in a changing room.

Everyone knows that women's changing rooms are for women. Everyone. Any man who is happy to ignore that is a twat. It doesn't matter what is going on in the changing room, it's not a space where they are welcome.

If you are married/with the sort of oddball that tramples women's boundaries then I pity you.

Quite a few posters on this thread have argued that men shouldn't be allowed near the changing rooms either.

Any normal human being would have assumed that a chair around changing rooms is actually designed for people to .. SIT on them. Not that it was pervert station. Good grief, next time there will be a riot when I take my sons in the changing rooms to try their school trousers.

@hearhooves no they're not.

Women are saying that they don't want men in changing rooms or looking in

A number of other women have questioned why men would want to trail around shops and expressed frustration at them hanging around and getting in the way. I'm pretty sure the intended comprehension was more nuanced than "men shouldn't be in shops"

They should sit outside, then if their partner wants to go outside to show them what they're wearing she can without all the other women inside having to be embarrassed. The whole issue on this thread was that the man was inside the changing rooms.

Yes, fair enough, but if some posters on this thread are to go by, even men sat outside the changing rooms are weirdo pervos having no right to be in the womens wear section at all!
As somebody said upthread, we've got two different levels going on here.
Those who don't want men in the changing rooms (fair enough, understandable) and those who don't even want them sitting outside as what would the weirdo want to be there for in the first place?!
Two levels.
One rational, one not.

Why are so many defending men’s “right” to be in women’s changing rooms. The mental gymnastics by some to prove that women are saying men should be banned from women’s sections in department stores is pathetic. If you have to take your OH clothes shopping with you tell him to wait outside the changing rooms. I don’t care if you value his opinion, he is not welcome in the women’s changing rooms

Seriously, who is though?!
I know I'm not.
I've just been disputing the views that say they shouldn't be in a women's clothing department section full stop.

All this hysteria over men and trans on Mumsnet is getting ridiculous. It's a wonder half of you ever leave the house at all.
Seriously, they are not interested in you. They don't care if you tap dance naked around the shop. Get over yourself. You don't own the world.

You don’t own the world 😂😂
What a stupid thing to say... “it’s a free country” what I used to say when I was 10!

Single sex spaces need to stay that way. I think the men who have exposed themselves to me and those who abused me “had an interest” in me. No one has mentioned trans BTW

wotacha you know what those posters were saying They were not suggesting men can’t be in shops where women’s products are sold. You’re really trying to twist their words.. Pathetic..

I think you need to have a re-read okpedro

They are saying that men shouldn’t be near Chang rooms, in women’s depts, abs that any man in new look is an oddball

@Gardai

Yeah he totally is.
That’s why I married him.

You can borrow him to go on a shopping trip but on the condition that he won’t go in the changing room with you

lovepoppy No my reading skills are just fine. PPS were not suggesting that men be banned from the women’s section in department stores. You can choose to read it that way. I can choose to question why you jump to the defense of men being in women’s changing rooms..
