[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And no 8 yo boys in women's changing rooms. Validating your behavior and attitudes about this means that you suck at parenting and need to get a psychiatrist to evaluate your deep-seated fear and hatred of men. Period. Friendly reminder: your son will be one soon and you are telling him that men are bad and not to be trusted. Will you be scared of him then, or are you planning to silently castigate all things manly for his whole life so that he has no choice but to live his life in shame?[/quote]

Alright, I said I was done commenting on this subject, and I meant it. But I have to respond to this moronic post.

I do NOT hate men by any means at all. I have a husband that I love and respect, I have a father that I love and respect, and my son will one day be a man.

I already stated that I know that most men would not want to do something sick to a little boy. I have said that the odds are good that nothing would happen to my son in the men's locker room. Thank God!

I don't think any less of men in general than I think of women in general.

But it's a fact that little boys have been molested in men's locker rooms and bathrooms before. There have also been little boys that have been murdered in men's bathrooms. Not one of you can guarantee that every boy is safe in every locker room. I'm supposed to take that one in a hundred chance that my son could be molested or killed because you are so immature that you're afraid of a little boy seeing your breasts or butt???

I have given my son just as many freedoms as most 8 year old boys are given by their mothers.

My husband is just as manly as anyone. My son plays little league baseball, watches wrestling on TV, plays catch with a football, and plays with his friends, just like most little boys. And my husband feels that there is nothing wrong with my son going into the locker room with my daughter and I.

I took my children to the pool again today. We did the exact same routine today as we've been doing for the last few years. I kept an extra close eye on my son when we were in the showers. There was a mixture of other women and girls in there with us. And my son does not stare at them. I recognized some of the women and girls as having been in the showers at the same time as us in the past, and there were some that I had never seen there before. One of the women that I had never seen before did have a double take as my son walked past, but she did not make the slightest effort to hide or fact the other way. Not one other person in there even looked at my son out of the ordinary. Not one other!

While we were swimming I swam over by one of the other moms that swims there on a regular basis with her little girl. I have spoken with the lady many times in the past about neighborhood related stuff. I asked her to be honest with me on whether she thought that it was inappropriate for me to take my 8 year old son in the women's locker room with me. This mother and her little girl have been nude in the showers at the same exact time that I've been in there with my children. (No, that is not the classmate and her mother that I mentioned before) She did not hesitate to say that she sees nothing wrong with it! When I told her about some of the comments that I've had directed at me the last couple of days, she made a face and said "Some people just have a stick up their A*$ sometimes."

Again, this is the last that I plan on saying in this thread. But do yourselves a favor, and look up about children that have been molested or killed in locker rooms and public bathrooms. It may seem rare? But not as rare as you would think.

Evil people hurt little children. [b]Seeing boobs and butts in a locker room never hurt any little boy or girl.[/b][/quote]

This shows you don't get it.  It's not just about your kid seeing boobs and butts.  It is the deep (unnecessary) embarrasment of those who are naked in front of your tween son.

This thread has given me the courage to say something next time I see a boy who is too old in the women's locker room.[/quote]
