Anti-male Discrimination.

I see Primark are bringing back women only changing rooms in their stores. It appears men will still have to use the unisex ones where random women will still be able to walk in on them as they're changing. Obviously they think equality only works one way and, as second class citizens, men don't deserve respect or dignity.

Honestly I don't think discrimination is necessarily bad, as long as it's done to further legitimate business interests through creating actual value and isn't done at the behest of legitimately bigoted people. Women tend to be a little more sexually conservative, and thus some won't feel super comfortable in a shared network of changing rooms. This isn't a big deal.

@BlueVeins Al Primark need do is reintroduce single sex changing room for BOTH sexes. What they are doing instead is deliberately treating men as second class citizens.

@Sharon might not be worth the thousands of dollars it'd cost to build an additional one.

@BlueVeins They seem to think it's worth spending thousands to pander to a whiny woman.

@Sharon you mean their clients? Yes, it's worthwhile for a business to listen to their clients.

@BlueVeins Apparently only if they happen to be women.

@Sharon were there also men complaining about being uncomfortable in these changing rooms?

Sharon · F

@BlueVeins Yes but they appear to be ignored. My husband has written to them about this issues but he's yet to even receive and acknowledgement. We're not holding our breath. Try emailing them about it, see if you can get a reply.

@BlueVeins @Sharon I intend to write a letter of complaint to them too.

@NortiusMaximus So do I. It will be interesting to see how they try to justify their misandry, if they even bother to try. In many cases, men's complaints are simply ignored.
