      He means like a condom. If he doesn’t record women at the gym for some spank bank material, he might get someone pregnant.

      I’d imagine that in that job—if you’re not a perfectly fit young dude or a woman—there’s a lot of accusations of “being a creep.”

      Imagine you’re the guy working that job and someone complains that there’s a mess in the women’s locker room. What do you do?

      You ask a woman if there’s anyone else in there, maybe shout that you’re coming in to clean it up, etc. Then you walk into the women’s locker room and someone—anyone—sees a man walking into the women’s locker room. BAM! Instant creep status.

      Are Meta’s glasses the answer? Fuck no! But I understand the “I need protection from accusations” argument.

      What’s the alternative? Cameras in the locker room? Hidden cameras?

      The guy probably thought that the glasses were big, ugly, and obvious (because they are) so no one could complain that they didn’t know they could be recorded in that guy’s presence.

        Imagine you’re the guy working

        Idk, An employee entering whatever gender toilets to clean it isn’t gonna be seen as creepy imho, unless they’re being actively creepy, like by recording videos with creepers’ glasses. I mean, menployees clean women’s toilet all the time and womenployees also clean men toilets.

        I can’t believe many if any business is currently paying gender-specific cleaners for gendered toilets. An employee would just grab that yellow rolling cleaning cart and deal with the thing and move on. It’s a scenario that happens literally everyday everywhere unless the place doesn’t clean their toilets.

          The difference here is that your typical janitorial staff will look like janitorial staff. This guy is just a generic manager (a uniform change when cleaning would be a good idea though).

          The other issue is that most businesses don’t have locker rooms; they’re just bathrooms.

          A bathroom has stalls where you can’t see them whereas a locker room will often have naked or nearly naked people just walking about.
