So I was just in Primark in Cambridge and I feel really stupid being emotional about this, but I was trying on some clothes, and it was a unisex changing room which I'm really for and I love that because it makes everyone feel included.

'But twice, two men opened the curtain and walked in on me. Luckily both times I was fully-clothed, but I could easily not have been.'

Let’s just agree that not everyone needs to be included.

My first thought is it's an accident like when someone forgets to lock the bathroom door and there's an awkward oops sorry moment.

"The first time was as they walked in they did it and the second time, was like one of them said to the other, "Have you tried it on, can I see?" and he opened it.' "

Seems a bit creepy. I think this situation is mitigated by having sex separate changing rooms or honestly if you're going for the unisex ones make them more private. Have a door instead of just a curtain.

Unisex changing rooms can make a lot of sense in some retail environments but you do have to make considerations for people's privacy. It's better in small open floor spaces where you don't really have the real estate to divest in large changing rooms but small enough that anyone being a creeper will quickly get seen and called out by staff and other customers. Large retail spaces afford too much opportunity to disappear.

I'll admit I've never had problems in unisex ones, but that's cause they'd boot anyone trying that shit. If the curtain is closed you leave it alone or they'll kick you out. Frankly you'd be lucky not to be banned. That could be the staff keeping an eye on it and making people less likely to try something when there are consequences and someone watching the area.

Yeah, in changing rooms like that the guys just put cameras up and watch you remotely. It's a lot less bother.
