Office Adds Area For Lactating Mothers To Discreetly Pump Iron

TUCSON, AZ—In a move that has earned praise from women’s rights advocates, local business Leiderman Insurance reportedly unveiled a dedicated space Friday for lactating mothers to discreetly pump iron in the office. “It’s essential that employers provide a private, functional weight room where new mothers can comfortably pump iron at work when the need to make gains arises,” said postpartum Liederman employee Aria Desrochers, expressing gratitude that she was no longer forced to duck into a cramped bathroom stall or utility closet every few hours to discreetly max out her delts. “It felt degrading to have to drag my dumbbells out to my car every time I needed to get some reps in, and being a new parent is hard enough without the judgmental looks from coworkers for deadlifting in common spaces. Now that I have a safe, clean place to bang out skullcrushers on the clock, I can quietly slip away from my desk to work in a compound superset, and no one has to know. They even put a small refrigerator in there for me to store my Muscle Milk.” Desrochers went on to say that the company had generously offered her an additional eight months of paid bodybuilding leave.
