[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's say there is a 13 year old girl that is nude in the locker room, and an 8 year old boy is in there and sees her. Yes, she may feel a little bit of embarrassment in the moment. But then they go their separate ways, and she gets over it. I've known many people of many different ages, some young children, some teens and some adults who've been accidentally seen nude by someone else, and they always get over it. And if it's a stranger that is the one that is seeing you nude, it's all the easier to get over it.

Molestation, on the other hand, is not so easy to get over. To say the very least.

I would rather my teen daughter be momentarily embarrassed by a young boy seeing her in the nude, than to see someones child be molested or harmed in some other way.

And it's not like a little boy is going to be viewing a nude female in a sexual way. Worst case, the boy looks at the nude female out of curiosity.

And as someone else pointed out, in Europe it is common for mothers to take their sons into the female locker rooms without anyone ever giving it a second thought. And I would imagine vice-versa?[/quote]

Oh, Jesus Christ.  The options are not (1) girls are embarrassed or (2) your son gets molested.  You could change at home.  You could change in the car.  You could wait to go to the pool until your DH can go with your son.  You could join a pool with family changing rooms.  You could go with your son into the men's room.  There are a ton of other options that safeguard your son AND make sure that other children don't feel violated.  Pick one of those.  Don't be a douche.[/quote]
