15. This obsession with genetalia is weird.

My nephew started college this fall. He lives in a dorm room he shares with with a friend he's known since preschool. She happens to be a young woman. They are not romantically involved. The room has large closets that serve as changing rooms. Their high school had unisex bathrooms with enclosed floor to ceiling toilet "rooms" (similar to public restrooms in Canada and Europe).

They do not seem to think the arrangement is all that strange...

Perhaps future generations will have a more adult perspective on body parts.
