Women do not walk around same sex bathrooms naked .

WTH are you talking about?

My athletic daughters have never fully changed in an open locker room. They use a stall if getting naked.

For male visitors, there was a guest bathroom down on the ground floor.

It is still the same way.

I went to University of Richmond in the 90s, and it was the same. Except there *always* were women in the men's bathrooms, not the guest bathrooms. Fewer men in the women's bathrooms, but still not exactly unusual.

And same for when I played D1 team sport. No one was running around naked.

I don't understand why people are so worked up about communal, single-sex locker/changing rooms. What are you so worried about exactly?

I guess none of you should ever visit Iceland and try to go to any of the hot springs.

I went to a school with all coed bathrooms in the dorms and, gasp, our showers had curtains not doors. It was fine. No one cared and one of the unspoken rules was that you shouldn’t commit “hallcest” to avoid running into your ex in the shower. Everyone was respectful. You wore a robe or a towel and only undressed when the curtain was closed.

Did folks take advantage of coed bathrooms to have sex in the shower sometimes? Sure. But seriously that wasn’t the normal day to day

Same. I mentioned curtains up thread. Not because I find them scandalous, but only to point out that bathrooms are not being designed that way today. My son was in a new residence hall last year, the freshman dorms are all coed floors. I used the bathroom there. It would be more accurate to call it a room full of toilet doors and shower doors with a wall of sinks across from a wall of lockers. Every shower has a changing area with a door. I don't think it needs to be this way, but it is this way. I don't think anyone walks the halls in a bathrobe or towel. They carry a change of clothes to the shower.

Several, hundreds, possibly even more than 1,000 of those colleges offer housing that does not have mixed gender bathrooms. Put it on the list of features you use to narrow your list from 3,000 to 12. Apply to those 12.

Or adapt? There is a solid chance that just today in high school she used a toilet in a stall next to a lesbian in the adjacent stall. The lesbian probably didn’t want to use a bathroom with a bigot, but she didn’t get a choice either.

I lived in corridor style dorms where I had to walk down the hallway to the bathrooms, and then inside the bathroom, there was a toilet section with stalls, shower section (with stalls) and sink section. I just wore a bathrobe and it was a non-issue.

I don't know why, but this made me laugh!

They are afraid they might get smacked around by some flappy labias.

But the lesbians use the all-female dorms and all-female bathrooms because they're ... female. Not sure what OPs kid will do about that.

Yeah I was confused by the lesbian part, lol. I'd say OP should send their daughter to a women's college, but if sharing a bathroom with lesbians is an issue, better rule those out too.

Rent her an apartment or let her live at home.

The locker rooms there are single sex.

That is not a thing even in prisons much less college dorms.

Every male dorm I ever stayed in had open shower rooms. Military too.

I would have literally NOT applied to that school based solely on that fact. There is NO way I'd do that. My mom and I once went into a clothing store we'd never been to and it turned out there was a communal dressing room. I noped out of there so fast it made my mother's head spin. She tried to be all "it's no big deal" and I told her to go ahead and change in front of strangers.

I guess you weren't an athlete. Not sure why you are capitalizing your NOT and NO...you realize you are the outlier (bathing/changing in a communal single-sex room) on this one, right?

What’s wrong with being an outlier?
