[quote=Anonymous]In a different forum on dcum, someone explained why she believes this. Agree or disagree? “I’m a senior exec, and I used to tell my boss that open concept plans for offices were inherently misogynistic and failed to take into account how women work. “Where should women put their tampons?” was one of the things I pointed out to him. Along with “moms generally take 80% or more of the callls from doctors, school, etc — how do you not accidentally penalize them for this as these calls are more visible since they don’t have a door to close?” Of course, we can keep a stash in a laptop bag, but in general, women’s needs are not accommodated in office planning. IBM had a whole “free the tampon” movement.” How do you feel about this ?[/quote]
