Totally worth it
The vast majority of reported sexual assaults at public swimming pools in the UK take place in unisex changing rooms, new statistics reveal.
The data, obtained through a Freedom of Information request by the Sunday Times, suggests that unisex changing rooms are more dangerous for women and girls than single-sex facilities.
Just under 90 per cent of complaints regarding changing room sexual assaults, voyeurism and harassment are about incidents in unisex facilities.
Golly. Why would that be, do you suppose?
Unisex facilities account for less than half the changing areas across the UK, but the number is on the rise – doing away with separate male and female changing rooms and toilets is seen as a way to cut staff costs and better cater for transgender people.
“These figures show that women and girls are more vulnerable in mixed changing rooms and there is a danger these places are becoming a magnet for sexual offenders,” says David Davies, MP for Monmouth.
“It simply doesn’t make sense to enable men to have greater access to women’s spaces. The reforms to gender recognition will grant that access.”
Look, making it laughably easy for men to prey on women is a small price to pay for making men who say they are women feel loved and accepted and embraced in a big sexy hug.
Exactly! Women and girls should be proud to play their part in this Great Leap Forward.
Speaking of change rooms letting creeps in, is that child-only swim thing organised by a creep still on?
