I know. My point is that men will be looking for opportunities to look at half-naked women. Many, many men. So: 1. It's reasonable for women to want spaces where they can escape that. 2. If you're going to construct non-segregated changing areas, you better get it right.
I thought you were arguing that we shouldn't aim at sex-segregated public spaces, rather we should look to prosecute voyeurism. My argument is we need sex-segregated spaces - swimming, exercise classes, changing rooms, etc - because you can't police (prosecute) the male gaze.
I've just read your tweet again. It reads as though you think prosecuting voyeurism is what's required, not sex-segregated public spaces. If a Muslim woman wants to swim without males looking at her how is prosecuting voyeurism going to help? Maybe I'm missing something.
Maybe your point was narrower - not that there are no circumstances where sex-segregated public spaces might be a good, but rather we don't rule out many non-segregated public spaces because of risks of voyeurism, we (should) just come down hard against voyeurs. Is that it?
Understood. Thanks for taking the time to explain. I was genuinely puzzled (I had read the whole thread).
