I don't see a problem. Men walk around the women's dressing rooms all the time these days. Segregation is not the answer.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm a fashion stylist, and I have male clients. I can't help but walk around the mens dressing rooms if I'm to be effective at my job. Male fashion stylists are constantly in the women's dressing area. If we want privacy, we shut the door. Private stalls are good.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-in-mens-dressing-area#post-1845912 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 11:06:54 +0000 Staysfit 1845912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team Rachylou. Of course, I work with young folk, and my children are young adults. Tolerance is a good thing. I have never felt like someone there for their partner is leering at me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-in-mens-dressing-area#post-1845893 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 09:09:42 +0000 Deb 1845893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With you Kevin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-in-mens-dressing-area#post-1845889 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 07:36:06 +0000 minimalist 1845889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team rachylou. </p> <p>Nordstrom makes possible a very customer-friendly option, should the current understanding of gender feel too challenging to adapt to: your SA can gather clothing you'd like to try on, and ring it all up so that you can take it all home to try on in the privacy of your home. If something you'd like to keep needs to be tailored, thus bringing up the privacy issues, well, I have been far happier paying extra for outside tailoring than with Nordstrom's "free" services anyhow. So just choose a tailor that offers the privacy you prefer. </p> <p>Back in Binaristan, some lingerie boutiques have a lounge area (sometimes just one comfortable chair) for the generally male-identified partner of a binary couple to rest, read a newspaper, perhaps enjoy a coffee and a cake, within consultation distance while the generally female-identified partner is in the fitting room. I've never felt bothered by the presence of another client's partner waiting there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-in-mens-dressing-area#post-1845861 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 02:33:24 +0000 Jaime 1845861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Gaylene. I would rather have co-ed with private stalls than open plan and single sex. (Admittedly my reference here is college dorms.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-in-mens-dressing-area#post-1845854 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 02:01:28 +0000 Gaylene 1845854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Rachylou on this one. </p> <p>If private space is provided, I honestly can't see the fuss about men and women being in the same area. At 68, I'm not a millennial, but I think the youngsters are dead right in not being fussed by gender. Privacy is good, segregation is not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-in-mens-dressing-area#post-1845791 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 19:52:17 +0000 Jane 1845791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, I agree, I thought about this too. I am super grateful that we are beyond binary gender. It is shifting and it is a good thing, I think. Just needs to be respectfully managed by stores.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-in-mens-dressing-area#post-1845728 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 15:36:11 +0000 rachylou 1845728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's awkward and uncomfortable, but I'll go there and say the Millennial Age is beyond binary gender... and it's... I don't know... something to come to terms with... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-in-mens-dressing-area#post-1845654 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 12:16:15 +0000 Jane 1845654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree too, and I struggle to enjoy shopping with DH, so best that I am kept out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-in-mens-dressing-area#post-1845649 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 11:32:56 +0000 cindysmith 1845649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just help my husband pick things to try on, then I let him decide if it 'fits' or not. No amount of criticism or advice from me is going to hangers his opinion about a garment so I save my energy lol</p> <p>I hope you find suitable places to shop! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-in-mens-dressing-area#post-1845642 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 08:01:42 +0000 Style Fan 1845642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing.&nbsp; Something to keep in mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-in-mens-dressing-area#post-1845638 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 06:11:54 +0000 stella belly 1845638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me to Agree; It is after all the Store owners and management staff duty. Sometimes when I visit store, too embarrassing when I discover such things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-in-mens-dressing-area#post-1845580 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 00:51:22 +0000 JAileen 1845580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel the same way! I find you find satisfaction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-in-mens-dressing-area#post-1845577 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 00:48:35 +0000 gryffin 1845577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kevin I so agree. I stand outside the dressing room in the men's section and my husband comes out to model. Even when there are nice wooden doors and total privacy I do not even go to the tailoring area inside the changing area. I think it's insensitive. Do know some women's changing areas are abysmal too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-in-mens-dressing-area#post-1845572 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 00:21:55 +0000 bridgie 1845572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.&nbsp; You know, I would be very upset if male employees were allowed in a female dressing&nbsp;area&nbsp;I was using. </p> <p>I do hope you find "Happier" and satisfactory locations to shop.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-in-mens-dressing-area#post-1845569 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 00:07:27 +0000 Kevin 1845569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Based on another post found here--I'm GLAD to hear women have the reverse problem.&nbsp; I'm really tired of women showing up in the men's dressing area where changing rooms have little privacy due to the huge gaps between the doors and walls of each room.&nbsp; Stores like Nordstrom routinely allow female sales associates into the men's changing areas.&nbsp; Tired of this! Now I'll only shop at stores where changing rooms offer real privacy, or that don't allow women into the mens changing area.&nbsp; Yes, men want privacy too! </p>
