Pretty much everywhere I've gone (the country is irrelevant) if you're a guy taking a shower after gym (or where ever) you're going to be showering next to another guy (or you could be) because next to you on the wall will be another shower head.
Women, on the other hand (except in prison) have private shower stalls, in some cases they even have private changing rooms.
Is this related to mens' bathrooms forcing guys to stand next to each other while peeing? Are men just more comfortable with being naked in each other's presence? Or is this something more sinister? Is this actually a plot to keep women down?
Think about it for a second. There's this image of an ideal woman stuffed down our throats at every turn, so women buy all these beauty products, undergo plastic surgery, spend a small fortune on clothes, etc, all in the pursuit of endeavoring to look like the "perfect woman".
Now what if women knew that was a lie? What if they woke up to the fact that there is not only no perfect woman, but that they themselves are in fact...NORMAL!!!
Imagine a woman standing naked in a room with several other naked women...uh oh...cold shower time...ok, I'm over that...so you have these women, showering after gym, or where ever, and they're all standing next to each other showering just like guys do, and of course they notice, like guys do, that there is no perfect body. That all of these other women are really not much different from them. They all have a little cellulite, or slightly chunky thighs, or butts that are not tiny and practically non-existant. Translation, they all look like real women.
What's going to happen?
The fashion world will crash and burn. Makeup companies will go bankrupt. Clothing companies will go out of business. Ok, maybe that's over reacting a little...but isn't that how women tend to react when they look in a mirror?
I leave you with these funny pictures, which are not quite that funny when you realize how accurate they are. Now this is not to say men live in a fantasy world, because both pictures are extreme examples, but I believe they are still fairly accurate depictions of the way men and women see themselves. Sad but true.

Yes, the old "balls exposed" in the showers - as my wife says. But, it's not always the case the the ladies have private shower stalls. My wife and I have been swimming at a local college pool for the better part of the past three years - and both the men's and women's locker rooms have the group showers.
Let Liz know that if my wife can shower in the open room, she can to. While it took her a little time - over the past three years Karen has seen and been seen naked with everyone from girls running around the room, to teenagers who don't stop talking, to some girls from the college swim team (my favorite), to moms her age, and the old ladies who just finished their water exercise class (you have to take the good with the bad - this isn't a B movie).
