Cafe owner wants female staff to wear red stickers while on period – NZ Herald
I hope to hell this is a cafe owner looking for shock value and notoriety!
An Australian cafe owner has been slammed after stating he wants his female staff to wear a red sticker while they are on their period.
Speaking to the Kyle and Jackie O show in Sydney, the man named Anthony discussed the controversial proposal and stated that he had problems with a female staff member who was having “women's issues”.
The manager stated that the woman was “emotionally stressed and hormonal” due to being on her period – and so he had come up with a solution.
The cafe owner went on to state that menstruating women wearing a red sticker would be like when a learner driver sticks an L-plate on their car.
“Well, the way I see the whole thing is, if someone is learning to drive a car right, they stick an L-plate on the car,” the caller said.
“That's not for their benefit, it's for the people around them to give them some space and not toot the horn, and stress the person out.
“So it's the same idea, just for women's issues.”
