    I find it interesting you are questioning my off handed reply to someone's introverted nature rather than the original reply which had actual meat to dissect.

    To expand on my first comment, I don't think article should be read as strongly arguing bathhouses' importance as cure-all. Maybe I'm just excusing the strong language because it sounds like journalistic trope writing rather than an explicit argument, but I think the sentiment behind it is well worth repeating. Any more attention we can give to dissolving unnecessary barriers from individualist consumer ideology to puritanism is a good in my book, at least when it comes to general online forums like this where so much apolitical content is competing. You obviously don't take issue with the general idea itself though, so I guess it's just the level of importance that we're giving differently that I find interesting.

    I don't think they were implying that communal bathhouses should necessarily replace other public spaces or that they're the solution, just that they could serve well for housing pluralities of public functions by virtue of them having a more intimate character, which other places lack.

    I don't know where you're getting the idea that strangers would be violating your personal space but that's not what happens in bathhouses.
