Should women get a day off work for their period?

No, you are the one mentioning so much violence. "This" is clearly the violence you mentioned. The answer to my question is not "men" but "to an incredibly large part it is men themselves".

And wow, you actually have a feminist attitude now - yes, they think society needs to change to make men less violent.

Well done!

I thought feminism=equality but well done for showing people it is to change men instead

...so you're telling me you're a "feminist"...while arguing for a legal inequality between the sexes via this law...imagine my utter *lack* of surprise at your astonishing inconsistency.

No, removing gender stereotypes is the aim. The thread topic is not about stereotypes. What I wrote to joe counts for you as well. Be sure you fully understand arguments before dismissing them.

Learn some reading comprehension. Argument was "society makes men prone to violence". Changing how society stereotypes men and makes them prone to violence is not the same as what you just wrote.

It is always better to actually understand an argument fully before replying, else you just look like a prejudiced fool.

you want to remove gender stereotypes by stimulating a stereotype that women are not able to do jobs without a free day off each month...? fail.
...you want to remove gender stereotypes through government policy? as if this is cultural engineering from the top down? that's authoritarianism though, isn't it. the government shouldn't control our culture. our culture should control government. rule of the people and all that.

also, how is removing stereotypes by making men and women unequal adhering to the dictionary definition of feminism?

Stimulating a stereotype? It's not a stereotype...embarrassing.

You said that feminists want to change society to make men change, I suppose that is better than killing all men or putting them in camps like they occasionally call for.

you're actually saying women definitely need a day off each month...?

I would not in general, as we have sick days. However, taking sick days is seen as a bad thing in career progression so I would be for a solution that circumvents this.

...haven't we been through this already?
if you give certain groups the means to do less work for the same amount of money, surely that inherently makes them, in general, less profitable to companies?
so to give women a law like this, whereby they have an incentive to take a day off as much as possible to maximize personal utility, necessarily means that the company they work for is making less money through them compared to men? so surely the effect of this is to...hire less women?
it's the law of unintended consequences that you're not accounting for. it's the same effect with things like minimum wages - forcing people to be demanding a higher wage means that less companies are going to want to hire them if they have not enough experience to justify that higher threshold.

Then they can choose to do so. Next we might look at a person's sickness history before hiring them, no?

And of course you would be happy for workers to be exploited in the name of "profit-maximization".

The the fact remains women would be getting an extra two weeks paid leave each year compared to their male counterparts. Plus sick days. That won't bode well for female job candidates. And you joke about employers looking into candidates "sickness history," but it is something references can mention if you're taking a lot of time off work.

And what he said concerning wages is true. It's one of the reasons minimum wage is lower for youths in the UK - to make it easier for them to find employment. Employers are reluctant to hire inexperienced burger flippers on $15 and hour, but thry might on $10 an hour. Would you rather have a low-paying job, or no job at all?

Because you need years of experience to flip burgers? Lel. Next you are telling me unpaid internships aren't exploitation.

It doesn't have to be burger flipping; it can be anything. Employers would rather not have to train and babysit their new employees, especially not on higher wages due to the inefficiency. Lower minimum wages make hiring the young and inexperienced in particular more viable.

Internships are a good way of getting some valuable work experience and they're easier to get if the employer doesn't have to pay you. They're also contracts that are entered into voluntarily. Don't want to work for free? You don't have to. You're essentially doing volunteer work to improve your résumé.

Yes, because there are so many people. That means the employer can say well, I am offering experience not pay. Getting work for free. That is exploitation.

I don't see the problem with it. Case: a person needs experience and an employer isn't looking to hire someone on a salary. You both enter an agreement voluntarily where you exchange voluntary labour for the experience. Quid pro quo. Call that 'exploitation' if you want, but it's entirely optional and makes it easier for people to get work experience.

Women already have wage gap

No. Take a normal sick day if it is that bad.

I am not sure if you are serious or not, please give a minute to your self and work through the process of pregnancies.
