Met PC filmed woman in Primark unisex changing room.

[Xoxoxoxoxoxox]

In Wandsworth - Southside - I know this Primark, they have got rid of the women's changing room and gone unisex and now this.
The average shopper in southside is young, they have a Cinema and many teen shops.
He wasn't jailed, given a suspended sentance of course.

This is exactly why we (should) have single female spaces!!

1. why isn't he in prison
2. what is wrong with the Met Police?
3. this is why mixed sex changing rooms are a bad idea.

Primarks across the country have gone unisex. This isn't the first instance in a Primark since the chain introduced the policy, and it won't be the last.

When they first enacted the policy, another poster on these boards spotted a man positioning his chair in the corridor so he could watch a woman changing through the gap between the wall and the curtain.

Obviously, as a mumsnetter, she intervened.

Disgusting. The only answer is for women to vote with our feet. Which chains have stood firm against this nonsense of imposing unisex changing rooms?

(I don't shop in Primark anyway as I have concerns about what the working conditions must be like given how cheap the clothes are. I'm lucky to be able to afford those scruples, I know.)

Predictable - and no doubt happening in mixed sex changing rooms everywhere, courtesy of Stonewall. It's just that he got caught.

Also a selection of previous threads where people complained about Primark's changing room policy and predicted that this would happen

But, but, but, wait this never happens.

What on earth is wrong with the met?

So many instances of met officers harming the people and communities and people they're supposed to serve, why does it just keep continuing?

But, but inclusivity blah blah, as we all know.in the utopia of genderwoo this never happens!

Why are we giving pervy men more opportunities to victimise unsuspecting women?

300%

This.

When this happened I was in a Primark (last time) and mentioned to the woman on the till that I thought the unisex rooms were and absolute disgrace. She didn’t know and yelled over to her colleague who didn’t know either. She looked pretty angry.

Hmm. It's interesting that Leicester Fosse Park Primark wasn't letting men into the Ladies/ Children's fitting rooms last time I was there ( over a year ago though).
That may be because Leicester has a large Muslim population and they know that it'll affect their bottom line if they find out that the fitting rooms are not single sex and vote with their feet.

What'll happen is what has already happened: many women are now forced to exclude themselves, and the women's territory is the property of the males who wish to symbolically pee all over it and anyone in it, and the women who are ok with that.

No one's bothering to count or measure the women with no access however, since they're only women, and the men are happy. So job done. Yay 'inclusion'.

Would someone sort this bloody country out.

Not to mention a police officer has more or less got away with this, cos only women. The sexism ingrained into the heart of the met and the justice system is another whopping great elephant cantering about in this mess.

Boycott. Damage their sales.

Is matalan like this too? I only saw one changing room.

I can't understand how he got a short suspended sentence.

He filmed a woman in a changing room.

His computer held 000's of serious porn images of both children and animals being sexually abused.

He's a police officer (or was - not now, obviously) - at one time the police used to be held to a higher standard than ordinary citizens - and rightly so. It doesn't seem to apply now.

There's quite a lot of Muslim women in Wood Green in north London, but Primark has gone unisex there. I think they don't really care because they know women who object will try stuff on at home and return if it doesn't fit. Fuck the inconvenience; it's only women.

Primark unisex changing rooms are not well policed either. I know this because I was able to wander into each cubicle and put up a sticker about single sex changing rooms in every single one without being questioned.

I wish I could say I was surprised but I'm.not.

So sick of women being collateral damage so men can be everywhere all the time even when they aren't wanted.

in addition to filming a woman by going into the cubical next to her and putting his camera under the partition, he pleaded guild to three counts of making an indecent image of a child

he should be in prison

and mixed sex changing rooms demonstrate either naivete or a complete lack of interest in women's dignity

It seems like being a pervert and hating women are actually part of the job description/requirements to become a Met Officer...disgusting.

I know!!!!!

It does confirm my prejudice that the type of people who would actively choose to become police officers can require careful watching

I know the police are aware of this, but evidently not aware enough
