The Subtle Sexism of Your Open Plan Office

Found this article fascinating! Haven't worked in an office as large or generic as the ones portrayed in the article (e.g. identical desks). More interested in the thinking behind human-scale workplaces (S. Susanka). Or maybe I am still pondering the wisdom of facility management policies that set the number of plants you can have in your office space according to your seniority/pay grade (my experience in my first job out of university...) What do YOU think about open office environments?
