Much has changed.

My point is that how people feel about stuff like that is based on their experiences. You mentioned a large gender-neutral bathroom somewhere. It was designed to provide privacy where it was needed, but the rest was for common use by everyone.

It all depends on how things are designed and who is using them. In that huge old house, the situation was what it was, so you adapted to it if you lived there. It didn't take long for new occupants to become accustomed to the situation, either.
