I was specifically responding to the commenters in this thread who suggested that forced communal nudity of the sort that (used to?) go on in middle- and high-school gym class is a character-building exercise, and that people who prefer privacy for their naked body are "precious" and weak. I understand the article is not strictly about that experience, but it refers to it, and the trend towards privacy in locker rooms may well be because younger adults were not forced into getting naked in front of their peers. If so, that's all for the good.
