[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a different forum on dcum, someone explained why she believes this. Agree or disagree? [b]“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. [/b]“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] I would fire or avoid anyone, male or female, who thought like that. They would just be trouble. [/quote]
