I saw double standard too as a teen.

Boys under 8 or so were fair game to be kept naked at pools, but even so moms would eneter boys locker rooms when teens present.

I remember being 14 going to beach and younger boys were all bare and since in group I joined them. It was fine at time.

Totally agree, women are very blase about the privacy of boys. When I was 12 I had to get changed in an open communal room with boys aged five plus and I remember one woman was in there helping her son to get dressed after a swim session but the reality was her eyes were all over and looking at the other boys, most of them totally bare.

It's not just women; most men also don't concern their own privacy. When I was a child, the swimming pool near my house had a rule that children over 5 years old couldn't enter the opposite sex's changing room. This rule was well enforced in the women's changing room; slightly older boys entering the women's changing room would face resistance from the girls. However, this rule was practically ignored in the men's changing room. Girls as young as 7, 8, or even 9 or 10 often accompanied their fathers into the men's changing room. Most boys didn't seem to mind these little girls freely entering the men's changing room to see boys naked.

I would see same thing, all the time. Infact I likely never even went into girls room.

It was long ago, but our summer town pool had kids, and adult pool, and boys and mens room separate. In boys room, girls would always change their little brothers. Younger boys would use the kids pool naked on quiet weekdays too. It was mostly up to mom I guess what the cut off age was, but seemed relaxed. I was with few younger boys and joined them to watch them swim sometimes.

I don't remember a specific rule at our local pool, but one time my wife and I took our young girls , age 2 and 6, or so, to the local public pool. When it was time to leave, I went to the men's room to change and my wife took the girls to the women's. That particular day, a dad was there with his 2 daughters, maybe early grade school age, and the 3 of them were changing in the men's room with other guys changing around them. Dad and girls didn't care and none of the guys seemed bothered, either.
