To all the posters saying ‘ no one want to see a dock in their changing room’. Can I just say, as someone who has lived with someone who gave me no right to bodily privacy when undressing or washing, that it’s the being forced to be naked/ undressing in front of a male who you don’t want to see you naked, that is so awful. It says very clearly, ‘ you are nothing, you are worthless, you have no rights and no power’. It’s an absolutely clear and unambiguous shout of dominance and control. You can see how Riley is crying when she recounts this to the committee.
It’s why I’m so furious at those women, and men, screaming at her that she has to submit to this. They are actively seeking to create a class of men that women have to submit themselves to, even in their most intimate and vulnerable moments. Women have no rights if they don’t even have the right to choose who they are naked in front of. Those protestors disgust me.
