    In Ontario, Canada the building code stipulates the amount of washrooms there must be for both men and women. I would imagine the states would have something similar.

    I've never heard of this. Certainly it must be illegal?
    How exactly would this be illegal?
    Not saying I'm for or against just curious as to your reasoning.

    Some people think that anything they consider immoral by their own standards or the standards of their country of residence is somehow also "illegal." They forget to consider that there are many different cultural standards, and instead think their own little circle of rules should apply to all. Unfortunately as you have pointed out, this situation is not necessarily "illegal" at all.

    This really IS a zombie thread. But a very interesting one nonetheless.

    Worst experience I ever had, not quite changing-room related: I was in Houston for a training course. Totally jetlagged from flight from Europe, the pool looked inviting. Got into my bikini, went to pool - and the people in there looked at me as if I was naked. Then I noticed that men were wearing nearly kneelong shorts and women bikinis, often with long shorts above as well :o No idea if I stumbled into a conference of an untra-orthodox group of people or whether that's normal in (parts of) the States. but I did feel uncomfortable. I think these people might have gotten a shock at a public pool in Iceland. Sure, men and women changing area separated, but people were just walking around naked between the lockers, to the shower, back to locker to get a towel, etc.

    Ugh I should know better to reply to an old thread and yet - I'll just out myself as a puritanical American, then, I guess, because yes, I think this is weird and I would be incredibly uncomfortable and probably feel unsafe, too. I don't hate my body or anyone's body, but I don't particularly want to see strange men naked or partially dressed, and I don't want them to see me naked or partially dressed, either.

    If it's a room intended for one person/family to use at a time and it locks, then I have no issue.
