A Norwegian supervisor has made women within his company wear red bracelets during their time of the month, allowing others to know why she's taking numerous bathroom breaks.
In the age where time is the most valuable asset, these red bracelets may actually become a handy tool to help women explain away the number of times she has to get up from her seat while she's on her period. Practical or just sexist? This is a question for you to decide.
