Men are actually tracking their colleagues’ periods with an app

Apps that help women keep track of their periods have taken a creepy turn.

Originally created to help women figure out when they might expect their period or start ovulating, men have now begun using them too - to track their colleagues.

Apps like iAmAMan and uPMS encourage men to track their colleagues’ and partners’ cycles in order to stay on their "good side" and avoid PMS.

One woman explained to news.com.au that her colleagues began tracking her cycle after they had an argument at work:

They want to stay away from me when I’m PMSing, because I get a bit moody.

Meanwhile, her male colleague reasoned:

What’s sexist is how women are allowed to blame their volatile actions and unstable emotions on their ‘periods’, I just wish men had that option too.

Unsurprisingly, that didn’t go down too well with the general public, who took to Twitter recently to share their complete dismay at the whole idea...
