So, [livejournal.com profile] sonnlich posted a link to this interesting article about the way menstruation is still a pretty taboo subject, even though a lot of guys probably wouldn't actually freak out if women brings it up. So, a poll.

Nb: when I say "mention" I just mean in vague, non-gross terms like "Crap! Out of tampons" or "Ow. Cramps", not going into icky detail. The same way one might talk about having gastro or a runny nose.

[Poll #1167026]

I've never had an all/mostly female workplace, they sound intriguing :)

My previous position was Secretariat, my current one is Health Policy. It's not exactly the Secretaries and Nurses stereotype, but uncomfortably close among the older ladies.

I must say I find the vibe in health VERY different to the maths dept (also Scitech, but they're crazy :)). And yes, a LOT more women. I went to a medical conference about kids health issues and it was like 90% female, a huge change from maths conferences.

Being in a graduate-ish, IT heavy position the age thing isn't so much an issue :)
