I can’t stop thinking about how rude and bullying James O’Brien was to KJK. Asking her over and over what would be the problem if he was changing in the cubicle next to her.
Well, several days after I heard this interview I’ve come up with an answer. The real answer is much more complex than what I’m about to write but I’ve tried to come up with an answer for his inflammatory question without being inflammatory back. (Hard)
So, in answer to your question James. Would it be acceptable for me and my girlfriends to have our usual noisy, laughter-filled boozy get together at the church hall meet up session for lonely over 65s? Would it be acceptable for us to sit there and laugh our heads off and drink our wine and take over the space. We wouldn’t be posing a risk to anyone. Just like you would (I hope) not pose a risk in a changing room. But is it polite? Is it acceptable?
would it be acceptable for me, a 43 year old woman to sit on the swing at the play park all afternoon? The children would have to wait their turn, there is other equipment for them to use until I finish. I pose no risk to them. Is it polite? Is it acceptable?
to answer my own question, as you seem to be struggling with basic manners. It’s not polite or acceptable as in both these examples I / my friends are entering a space which is not designed for us.
I am not breaking any laws entering or using these spaces but it’s not FOR me is it? It’s for them. Everyone deserves a little space for them in the world. Play parks, church coffee afternoons and sex based changing rooms.
be a decent human James and recognise that.
