Are boys the only ones with shared, public showers?

It seems that boys have to shower together in one big stall and girls never do. Why can't they just make separate stalls for boys?

    I agree with this and yes contrary to popular belief

    Atleast from my experience

    All boys showers are open. No stalls

    And yes, from my sources of girls i know, It's all stalls

    Why is this? Who knows.. ¬¬

    I remember the famous scene in Porkys, where the boys drilled a peep hole in teh girls locker room showers..and all the girls were sharing the same shower area. But maybey that was just Hollywood. I remember when I was in school, we snuck into the girls locker room at night after a dance, and your right, there were separated walls for showers. I think it boils down to how America has always wanted to treat the girls as "needing to be protected", and feel comfortable in all environments. It is just something that was always done, and never changed.

    ones that wear boxers, or board shorts while they shower and then keep a towel around them the whole time while pulling up their boxers, they will realize how retarded they looked once they just shower normal and dress. nobody is staring at your privates, when you are in the shower while wearing your boxers, you saw somebodies private even if it was for a second you did and if you say you never seen somebodies privates when showering in a open shower then you lie...

    also once you get over fear or whatever you want to call it, you will be a night and day difference when it comes to talking and associating with females, flirtation and in the bed.. any guy that does the above stuff in the shower, will be clingy with the females.

    You youthful men thoroughly blow this "public showering" component waaaaaay out of share: in case you requested 10 acquaintances to stand in a circle and stick out their authentic palms, what might you anticipate to confirm? might you anticipate any 2 of the nicely suited palms to look a similar? (length, shade, shape, etc?). Penises are corresponding to palms--each and every guy has one, and no 2 are precisely alike. no person gets all excited that another guy would desire to confirm their authentic hand, so why are you frightened that somebody would desire to confirm your penis? i've got considered over one thousand of them (college PE training, militia, wellbeing club locker rooms, etc). And, i anticipate, that over a one thousand men have considered mine. you recognize what? It did no longer fall off because of the fact another guy regarded at it. and that i've got in no way had a spontaneous erection--and that i'll guess which you will no longer, the two. Kaaaaay?

    Girls are expected to be modest and coy and ashamed of their nudity. This is cemented by separating them into stalls in the shower and the toilet. There are no such expectations of boys, and therefore, no stalls.

    It is sexism. It is illegal in many jurisdictions when tax-payers funding (public schools) are involved).

    No. Girls have to, too.
