Never nudes and other adventures

Here's the thing if I don't want another grown man to see my **** makes me an entitled millennial, then, me, at 45, is an entitled millennial.

On occasion I go to the gym and, on occasion during my work day, so I change in a communal locker room but the showers are private and that's the way it should be.

That doesn't mean I have an issue with body acceptance or that I'm not a functioning adult.

I think it means the exact opposite. For the same reason that when a group of friends go on vacation, we don't cram eight people to a room to save money. Being an adult means you have some money and having money means an expectation of some privacy.

The argument here, if you follow it through, is you shouldn't have private ****ters but, instead, the commodes should just be lined up in a row as we sit there, cheeks a flexing, trying to give birth to another Texan.

That article is pretty good satire.

Okay, the commode lineup gave me a Full Metal Jacket flashback.

A former co-worker of mine was a Navy veteran. He said the bathroom in the barracks during basic training had stalls, but with no doors and a long mirror directly across, so you could see every guy down the line doing his business.
