What's the dumbest idea?

I have thought about this topic on several occasions. I have asked both males and females about it, straight and gay. I still have not figured out a scenario that would work.

I offer a different side to it. I workout in the mornings at 4:30am. At that time in my gym, there is quite a large population of gay men there. I know because my ass cheeks are usually getting warm...just kidding. Really though. I do feel like a piece of meat sometimes. I used to shower there in the morning because of convenience, but I have since stopped because of a few instances where I was really uncomfortable. They have open shower stalls and as I turned around one day while under the water, there were 2 gays guys across from me totally checking my out while I showered. On another occasion, I caught some guy peeking around the corner, staring at some other guy as be bent over to dry himself.

Most straight women I have talked to about this have said they would feel totally uncomfortable if they had unisex bathrooms, primarily because they feel their privacy is being undermined. All of these women, however, have said that it is different for gays in a men's bathroom. It is NO different. When I look around and see 2 guys staring at my ass, it is my privacy that is being violated. Women say, "well, just don't shower there then." Well, I respond by saying, "do unisex bathrooms and if you don't like it, YOU don't shower there then."

I have also talked to gay men about this. The last guy I spoke with had the hots for me and actually told me, and I qoute, "Do all of us gay men a favor and shower there more often." So, even if we don't know that someone is gay, it is still the idea of having my privacy compromised that unisex bathrooms would work better than having exclusive bathrooms for gays.
