Should women get a day off work for their period?

I have painkillers they give to people who suffer serious whiplash in car accidents, and they don't work :/ I think my body just hates medication

I wish it was that simple. It really isn't. Not when you can't walk or when you've thrown up.

Just because you manage, doesn't mean everyone else can. I can sometimes manage and sometimes can't.

They must be pretty strong.

so you're saying that women are disadvantaged? so they're not equal to men in their capabilities? okay, well you can say that, but it's not in line with equality. I just saying - this is why women will never work as hard and as effective as men if they aren't even able to in the first place.

also: who is even asking for this law?

If only they worked

Having severe pains for a day or two every single month is a bit of a disadvantage, yes.

Inferring from that they are never able to work as hard as men is disingenuous or incredibly daft.

You hear more and more examples of how women are much better workers than men, least of all because they have to prove themselves more*. Now these are anecdotal so I will not make a general statement (although I bet if I googled enough I would find studies on this already and I am sure there are more to come), but I will say that that is my opinion and that if I were making hiring decisions, I would hire many women.

*if you think about schoolwork and how girls tend to study more and boys tend to be more lazy, that is actually quite plausible.

by "work as hard", if we're talking about results, then how is that a daft thing to conclude when it's literally true? why else would women need such assistance? like I told the other user, this law would literally treat women like a handicapped/disabled gender. that's why it's so hilariously patronising. the fact that it's also legally discriminatory against men is just a coincidence. if you treat women better than men for an unjust cause, then that's against equality. EVERY individual in life is different, sure, but if you literally mandate that one demographic MUST be treated better for an arbitrary reason, then that is legal segregation and legal privilege. I mean, I don't know what universe this kind of law even sounds remotely justified in. it's a period. it's not a broken leg. if women don't even ask for this, probably because they know it would sound ****ing ridiculous, then obviously it's not necessary. it would also reduce them to the status of a disabled gender, like I said, and that would lower their social respect.



umm...riiight...I don't know why you bothered saying that - you've merely said "so there are studies that I don't know about which I could tell you about but I won't" - it just sounds like "I could prove you wrong here but I can't, or won't". also, why are you reducing this logic only to women? what about short men? what about fat women? what about ugly people? hell: what about people with LOWER QUALIFICATIONS?



...so...why would women need a law when even school girls don't?

I won't reply to the the first two paragraphs because I have said all that needs saying. If you don't want to get it, that is your thing.

With regards to the last one - did you not bother reading the thread? Plenty of women have said they regularly took a day or two off when a given period was particularly painful.

You are so full of bias and hate, and all you are is a scared little boy, scared that his privilege is being eroded.

Sure, there is a wage gap. Its just not an "unfair" wage gap. Its not to do with sexism either. I am not a feminist, because todays feminist have broken the definition and the meaning of the words. egalitarianism is the more correct word.

I don't care

First you say oh well look at how they can do it at school. Pointed out to that at school it's very common for girls to take days off due to period (again showing your complete lack of understanding of women's issues) you suddenly don't care anymore.

One day stupidity is going to erase the human race from the face of the Earth.

ps lol i did read your last paragraph while skimming the page, loooool you make the assumption little has something to do with body shaming rather than age? you are like a little boy throwing a tantrum because the cookie you wanted was taken by the evil girl. But if you want, I shall call you big boy instead, or are you going to take that as an offence, too? Maybe immature, because that at least is an accurate description of your mental development. And well, maybe you finally realized that I am not actually a "SJW"...took your time lol.

except it's not common, nor should it be common - if you make a law like this, it will be encouraged.



yeah and you're a great demonstration of that, aren't you
I'm making a priori analytical conclusions based on what fact necessarily suceeds another when talking about disdvantage and disability, yet you're just resisting it based on semantics
you think I'm lacking intelligence because I don't emotivise a fact? wow. I don't think you know what intelligence is



jesus, stop being so ageist, **** lawd
if I want to be little (or big) I can
you're oppressing me and denying my age identity
if I want to be little or big then you should acknowledge that
just like you're acknowledging women and their periods
you're so age privileged with your age normativity
(see, this is how it sounds from the other end - it's really boring)

Just because you think it's boring, doesn't mean it does not exist...

No, I think you lack intelligence because your arguments are horrendous, and you lack reasoning and logic. It's as simple as that. The fact that you think you are making "I'm making a priori analytical conclusions based on what fact necessarily suceeds another" means you are being smart (re-read what you actually wrote, I think you can see it's nonsense) just proves it.

I worked in the summer (and last summer) and *never* took one day off in a situation where I was working 6 days a week, even when I was ill, as I get migraines almost every single month. why can't women do it too? why can't they perform even in conditions of difficulty like basically everybody else? why women and not men? as if men don't also have their own difficulties? just because it's less likely doesn't make it less valid

.

Well, it can be done. But expect even lower pay rates. Women already have wage gap due to obvious reasons such as pregnancies which causes a little less experience in the industry therefor lower pay and a few others. But i would say no.

Migraines with auras?

Yaaas look who it is hahaha.

I remember I was talking to you about some guy calling you a Sheffield mess ahahahahahahahahha.

You never told me the name of the girl on your profile pic?????? I NEED TO KNOW
