what's more curious is that this is completely untrue in the american military, at least in the (generally really homoerotic) marine corps

since group showers are a thing in boot camp, you stop giving a gently caress pretty quick, particularly if during some exercise later on you end up staying in a squad bay environment. it's just not that big a deal

The Swedish army uses unisex changing rooms/showers/toilets/sleeping arrangements etc in the field and used to have them in many places in barracks until recently (last year, IIRC) when some labor legal requirements put a stop to that, at least temporarily. It's generally regarded as something that improves the team spirit, being a show of trust etc. People are usually hesitant in boot camp but staring gets pretty old pretty quickly. It's nothing you haven't seen before.
