Of course, Spelvin , I agree with your point that modesty is important for boys, but like many things, although it's said to be important online, reality is different. The reality is that most people don't care about boys' modesty , or rather, they think it's less important than girls' modesty . Sacrificing boys' modesty to protect girls is acceptable.

When I was in fourth grade, our classroom moved to a new floor. The girls on that floor said there weren't many stalls in the girls' restroom. Some girls told the teacher that there were sometimes long lines during breaks, and they often couldn't use the restroom during breaks because of the lines. The teacher didn't hesitate to tell the girls that if they really needed to pee but couldn't go into the girls' restroom, they could use the boys' restroom. She also warned us boys that if a girl had to use a boys' stall, we boys must not try to peek in any way. If any girl reported a boy peeping while she was using the restroom, she would immediately call the boy's parents because this wasn't an academic issue, but a serious moral one. However, the teacher never told the girls not to look at boys' private parts when they entered the boys' restroom. As far as I know, girls who have the opportunity to use the men's restroom will glance at the exposed genitals of the boys urinating in the urinals before going to a stall. Some boys don't think it's a big deal, while others have spoken to teachers about this, but the teachers think they're being ungentlemanly by not wanting girls to use the boy's restroom only for a moment and have scolded them. I think this shows the significant difference in privacy between boys and girls at that time.

This happened more than a decade ago, and perhaps now boys' modesty is indeed valued more. I'm just sharing my experience and perspective from back then.
