Ask Dr. Helen: Should Men Be Kicked Out of the Church Nursery?
I recently joined a new YMCA and am baffled by the dressing room rules. There is a family/special needs dressing room for parents to take children to, there is a woman’s dressing room, a men’s dressing room for men over 21, and a boy’s dressing room for men and boys under 21. I asked about this and wasn’t given a direct answer about why they did it this way but was told my 18 year old son should use the boys dressing room, which isn’t as nice as the mens. My theoretical eighteen year old daughter should use the women’s.
I guess they assume that half their clients are potential sex offenders? And they don’t realize that eighteen year olds are old enough to bring a discrimination law suit?
In the old days, when I was a boy, there was only one dressing room at the YMCA, the women went to the YWCA. And we all swam naked too!
When I asked why they didn’t have a sauna I was told that it was for “liability” reasons.
