[Read more letters about this article: Here]Women's bodies are judged all the time when in public, our tabloid media is a testament to this. We like having a little private time while taking a shower. Also I think it's that women spend a lot of their time comparing their bodies to other women's and when showering you just don't want to be self conscious. What I mean by this, if you're a guy and you have a Playboy or other skin mag on the coffee table, any women you invite over, at some point, she will pick it up and look through it to compare the models bodies or at the very least be looking at it to see what fascinates men so much. The health club and the spas I go to, the showers are semi-private, like stall seperators, sometimes doors, sometimes not, I guess it depends on the club, the more they cost, the more likely I am to get a door on the shower stall, but the changing areas are not partitioned at all.
I do find it an odd conundrum, men seem to be more comfortable with group nudity than women, but women are more comfortable with same sex affection than men are.
As for the bathroom thing, I stand by what I said earlier. Most of us don't wash our hands after touching inanimate objects like money, door knobs, elevator buttons, public transportation handles, so going to the bathroom is a good time to wash off any of the filth you have accumulated thus far in your daily activities. I do wish there were more touchless faucets though.
I used to work retail, handling cash a lot, I always washed my hands before eating or when I got a break, you really could start to feel the dirt on your hands, and if they had had those portable hand sanitizers I would have used those too. In fact, in many of the supermarkets I see a little hand sanitizer next to the register. Plenty of people don't like the feeling of dirt or filth on their hands.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Proving Bill right...
"Having a child is not really a choice, we need to reproduce, just because you hate the human race and wish we would all die out does not mean it's going to happen."
"Now, now, be nice. Thank you for keeping the species going. What would the human race do without your selfless contribution? I'm sure the main thing on your mind when you decided to have a baby was the fate of the human race. I shudder to think where we would be without your help. Where should I send your medal?"
That's funny, I don't have any kids. Nor do I really plan on having any, I haven't quite made up my mind. But way to avoid it KStone, it is not possible that something necessary to the continuance of the species is a choice like picking out what blouse to wear or what college to go to or to not go at all. Do you want a medal for not having kids? Not having children doesn't mean I don't understand that I was breastfed and that my mother being a single mom meant, gasp, she had to leave the house with babies in tow and I'd be pretty angry if anyone gave my mother shit for feeding me without a blanket over my head or because she has large breasts so my, or my brothers heads didn't cover her whole boob when her nursing bras were dirty. I don't really think the last 50 years or so of available birth control automatically made reproduction a choice. Reproduction is a necessity that a small percent of humans choose to opt out of, but unless you've opted out of sex altogether, then you haven't quite opted out of reproducing either until you hit menopause. I have absolutely no sympathy or patience for fuckwads who think public breastfeeding is a problem for your eyes or your sensibilities because basically you are saying my mother should have never left her house and for that because none of us would tolerate blankets over our heads, you win the asshole medal. Where can I send it?

Funny stuff Heather
[Read the article: I Like to Watch]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's why I read your column and I totally agree about Ugly Betty!
Now onto Bionic Woman, she gets into a car accident that would have permanently left her blind in one eye, legless and missing an arm or possibly dead. So doctor surgeon boyfriend risks his career to give her a robotic upgrade and what does she do, fucking complain! What did you do to me!! Whine whine whine. Great you've got superpowers and you want to complain that boyfriend risked everything to save your damn life!
Now being angry at the trade off, that's she's gotta be a soldier now and fight bad bionic girl, well okay be pissy about that. But so far, I liked Jamie, I don't like this gal one bit even if she does take care of her teen sister, so Bionic Woman is not on my to do list.
Oh yeah, that little girl, that homage was to Superman The Movie!
