http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/400772/Mirror-mirror-on-the-wall-who-is-the-sleaziest-of-them-allA SCOTTISH nightclub has installed a two-way mirror which allows male revellers to spy on women as they visit the toilet.
In the past clubs in Estonia, Austria and the USA have also fitted mirror glass into the ladies bathroom but it is believed this is the first example in the UK.
*****
Ellie Hutchinson, chair of the Scottish arm of sexual harassment group Hollaback, said: Were so shocked to hear that a club in Scotland thinks this sort of thing is acceptable andthe fact that its up and running shows theres a demand for it.
At Hollaback, we know that every day so many women are subjected to being watched, judged and having their personal space invaded without their knowledge or consent.
The fact a club is profiting off this often intimidating and frightening behaviour is gob smacking. You have to ask, why on earth would anyone think this form of non-consensual voyeurism is OK?
as the lady says, I am gobsmacked

That's indeed perverted. If it were both way I'd see maybe having some argument for it as a novelty item. But even there the market for women wanting to see into the mens room is FAR smaller than the other way around. But one way, WTF were they thinking?

How about a PRIVACY item? There is NO excuse for this. Period.

That's probably the least sexiest state you can see someone in.
I don't get some people.
