Given there seems to be some support for the notion that we can disregard safety issues , i would be interested to know how many of us would choose the option of men’s or mixed sex facilities if there are single sex available, and if so why?
YANBU = this is a really good idea,
YABU = I won’t support such a potentially dangerous idea

After an unsettling experience in mixed sex facilities with my daughter I would choose the women's loo every time now.

I won't be getting undressed in front of anyone, male or female. Does anyone even use communal changing rooms anymore? I'd use a cubicle only and I'm not bothered if it's also used by men as long as there is privacy.

Women (and girls) wishing to have privacy and safety when they are in a state of undress in an unsupervised area isn’t ‘seeing perverts everywhere’.

That sort of ‘NAMALT’ rhetoric makes women who feel uncomfortable with mixed sex facilities out to be hysterical pearl clutchers, rather than looking at the fundamental issue, which is that SOME men do exploit these situations to harass and abuse women and girls. It is naive at best to suggest otherwise. Just because it hasn’t happened to you doesn’t mean women who are concerned about this sort of thing happening are wrong.
