They’ll be shocked to hear that there could be _other people_ in the pool with them then…
We are really stepping back in time it seems.
There is a worrying sense of Puritanism spreading.
They’re aware it’s a public pool and any one can come in and see them?
Social media has led to many young girls feeling depressed and insecure about their appearance, as they compare themselves to their favorite tiktok or instagram stars who often have undergone plastic surgery and use filters. These unrealistic beauty standards are negatively affecting the younger generations confidence.
It’s so nice just being a well adjusted adult that doesn’t need to complain about this kinda stuff
Article suggests that following repairs, there are now large screens which mean folk from the inside can see in, which is putting women off swimming.
What it’s missing is the women are being put off by pervy men looking in through the windows. Think it’s safe to assume the women aren’t concerned about the pigeons.
Think it’s a reasonable request and interesting the ire in the comments on here is directed at the women who would like to swim without men perving on them from outside the building, and not the men perving on them from outside the building.
I used to go to a pool in Ellesmere Port to swim.
There was a ladies only hour straight after so I had to get out so they could come in.
What would happen is that a lot of them would get there early so start their swimming when it was open to all anyway. So was the women’s hour really needed?
I’ve walked past WK baths lots of times with the dog – I’ve never seen anyone looking in the windows.
There’s a world of difference between other pool users seeing each other and blokes leering in from the fucking road outside
Should frost the glass or something, simple fix fs
A lot of comments missing the point here. Ultimately, young women don’t want to be perved over by creepy dudes on the street. Which is fair enough.
It’s clearly a big enough problem seeing that women don’t want to go there.
What about the people in the pool. Can’t they see her
It’s the Wirral…
I reckon that it’s more a case of people walking past and going.. *”huh… there’s a young woman in a swimming outfit… you don’t see that every day…”*
It’s like when you see someone with one eye and you can’t help looking at it.
If they’re wanking on the windows then it’s entirely justified.
Time to add “No perving” to the [sign](https://images.app.goo.gl/Z7752U2RyovECsjV7).
This shouldn’t have happened and it’s telling it did. Any decent architect would have known about this issue, so what happened? Is this yet another case of a thick school-of-lifer council member having the power and arrogance to override the experts? Or did someone not want to pay to hire decent architects/designers?
Everything in the UK–roads, building access, lighting, ventilation, and on and on–is shit because we allow people who have no idea what they’re doing to be in charge. In countries in the continent, experts must be involved at all stages.
Not sure if the majority of men in the UK have nonce tendencies or whether this thread has been shared in a nonce group.
Give your heads a wobble.
4 hotel/hostels hosting cultural enrichers within 600m. *pickachu face*
He didn’t say how many students came to him. The feelings of a few shouldn’t define the lives of everyone else.
I’m familiar with this place – live on the Wirral and have a mate who grew up in West Kirby.
Even when we were kids/young teenagers in the 90s, you could see through the windows, even when passing in a car on the main road. They’re huge windows all down two sides of the pool.
I don’t remember it being an issue then.
The problem here is creepy men, but I’d ask are there *actually* creepy men just standing there staring in, or is this a hypothetical scenario?
I don’t know why so many people are desperate to blame the women or make this issue into a non-issue?
Oh sorry! I forgot the perpetrators weren’t muslim, or pakistanis. But if this issue involved asylum seekers, some of you would be banging on about protecting our women and children.
Gratifying to see the younger generations are learning to embrace modesty instead of flaunting themselves at innocent people just trying to do their shopping.
