Young woman is shocked after man ‘barges’ into female-only sauna and refuses to leave

One woman told of her feeling “uncomfortable” after a man “invaded” a female-only sauna.

Milly Bannister, from Sydney, posted a video explain how there are both men’s and women’s saunas in her building for ‘security and privacy’.

But on this occasion, when Milly and her friend were in the female-only sauna and wearing “short clothes,” she claimed a man “came in” to use the facility.

When the 25-year-old asked him to leave, she claimed the man got angry and refused.

“Okay, so I’m at the pool in my building complex that I have a pass to, and there are a couple of saunas here – one of them is male and one of them is female,” Milly said in the video.

“And of course I’d rather use the female because I’m in short clothes, I’m sweating, I’m having a conversation with my girlfriend, you know, you’re in a very closed room. And you sweat, it’s very personal and intimate.

“So my boyfriend and I were sitting here in the women’s sauna when this guy bursts in without asking and sits right in the middle.”

She claims the man said he preferred the women’s sauna because “it gets hotter” than the men’s sauna.

The video shows the man wearing only speedos and is heard in an angry tone.

Milly added text to the clip, claiming the man said she should “don’t assume he’s not gay” and should use the sauna – she also called the video “male privilege check.”

“The question is, am I the asshole to ask the man to leave because I don’t feel comfortable in a women-only sauna to have a man I don’t know there,” Milly asked.

In the comments, Milly said they left the sauna because the man “refused to leave” and that she will report the incident to the building manager.

The video has since been viewed more than 121,000 times and other TikTok users have been shocked as well.

“The fact that he didn’t leave and fight you is a scary red flag,” one person wrote in the comments.

‘Sauna only for women = only for women. If it had been unisex or unspecified it would be different but the sign literally says only for women,” wrote another.

A third added: ‘You did the right thing! Good on you for being brave in that situation.’
