This totally does not relate to me, but I had to post on this thread...

The socialization of men and women are at varying ends of the spectrum when it deals with gyms, showering and open nudity. I was a high school athlete (and yes, cheerleading, in my opinion was a sport because we had to condition ourselves and prepare just like traditional student athletes) and we never had to contend with these types of issues. Our shower facilities were always enclosed and girls generally never walked around nude. This behavior or socialization for men is something that is strange for me to comprehend. I suppose that I probably never shall.

I am also a former pageant contestant; I have been in numerous pageants. The closest thing I can personally relate too that might be similar to this is having to change in open spaces with all the girls. HOWEVER, there is a HUGE difference... in pageants, you don't have time to be looking around and 2 people are normally helping get you dressed for the next level of competition. You may end up semi nude for a total of 2-3 minutes while you are getting dressed for the next round (usually swimsuits competition), but never just out openly. I would not feel comfortable with that.

It is just "different" for me. Anyway, I wanted to say that and I did. :P
