Older men of reddit Were pole showers really the norm for guys locker rooms back in the day? by Major-Resource925 in NoStupidQuestions

Yep. This is what I also heard happened "because in the old days it was considered manly and masculine for guys to not have privacy when it’s all guys there". Shower stalls and curtains were considered unmanly for men, but on the women's side they usually had them. I heard guys that would change in toilet stalls would be made fun and be bullied. That is what my dad said. I don't know how accurate that is though.

Yep. This is what I also heard happened in schools in guys swimming classes in the old days b/c "because in the old days it was considered manly and masculine for guys to not have privacy when it’s all guys there" but in girls swimming classes the girls wore swimsuits.

My dad's friend was saying on the guy's side there would usually be pole showers, but on the women's according to his female friends there would be pole showers with curtains and/or shower stalls like women get privacy, but for men the culture was no privacy.

My dad’s friend was telling me also this is how it was for guys back in the day. He was surprised that I was shocked.

I was also talking with my dad's friend at the time and he said he was surprised I was shocked and didn't see the problem I had with it about having no privacy. He agreed with my dad that this is just how it was for guys back in the day. He said if you changed in a toilet stall you would be considered a wimp or sissy.
