Well, yeah.
Blows one's brains, no?
And also, never mind having to disclose my trauma to my employer as a reason for not wanting a man in the women's changing area - why do I even HAVE to hvave any trauma NOT to want a man to see me half-undressed, or with menstrual overflow?
That being said, there are very few women who have not been cat-called, groped and worse, so virtually all of us have some level of suspicion, even active dislike, towards ANY man who wishes to insert himself, uninvited, into areas where we are taking our clothes off.
It's utterly enraging. And it comes back down to, women are to a degree invisible, middle-aged women especially. I used to think, when I was young, that this was hyperbole, but the more I see of the world and experience not just of men but of younger women, the more I think this is true. What WE want, what WE feel, what WE think, is either beneath notice, or nothing like as important as want some bloody man wants.
Even one delusional enough to think he's a woman.
I daren't read the judgment itself, I will spend the evening in a stew of rage...
