It could be seen as discrimination based on sex and therefore against the Civil Rights Act in the US

Is it paid? The article says:

The Indian media company Culture Machine now offers one day of voluntary “menstrual leave” for its female staffers


Voluntary usually means one can leave or not show up and won't get in trouble, but it's unpaid.

one company

title says 'companies'

anyway if it's leave with pay you then have to address why youre giving a net of 11-12 fewer days of leave to male employees

this seems probable

i think few would object to granting some employees voluntary unpaid leave 1 day a month

i also think it would be rare for any to use it unless they're in such severe pain that they'd otherwise be using paid leave (and they'd still prob use paid leave even then)

imo a better solution is more flexible work from home arrangements

As long as it's unpaid or men get some form of equivalent time off.

Paying someone the same for doing less work just because they menstruate is dumb though.

He always does that. Probably for that exact reason. Though usually the question is like "are you ok with this? Yes or no?" and the answers read no and yes.

Fair actually.

On those intense days, some women really can't get their plumbing under control with tampons and pads. They can bleed all over furniture.




No, really...
After seeing some women go through that embarrassing situation at work, I say fuck absolute equality on this one. This is a biological issue. Men already get their piece of the pie by never having to deal with staining their panties in public with blood unless they binge on chipolte rofl.

It sounds to me like these corporate leaders are trying to subtly phase women out of the workplace. Come back from a pregnancy leave? Your job is filled and now you answer a phone from the desk next to the restroom.

Probably because there has been no need for a menstrual leave since the dawn of mammals. Some flex time or a day off for something rare, maybe. Guys don't take off when they are too horny to concentrate, they go masturbate or fuck and get back to work.

Only if they offer testosterone leave, when you're feeling like you need to choke slam someone, get a mental health day. Maybe there would be less workplace violence.

And workplace sexual harassment for that matter. Honestly though, our society is just turning into a bunch of pussies on all sides.

No, they're two completely non equatable things is my point.. Lol at anyone who thinks morning wood is anything like a menstrual cycle like wtf...

You kinda proved my point with your example. If a guy gets too horny to concentrate he can just go whack off in the bathroom or some shit. A chick can't just make her menstrual cycle go away...

Okay, whatever. I'm talking about actually equating an erection on the same level as a menstrual cycle. The hell?

Ok, well then you're just being obtuse. Nobody said they were the exact same thing. People are annoyed for the obvious reason that it's clearly a women only thing.

If we are suddenly considering menstrual cycles a disability, we are at an all time low as a society. They are normal and people have dealt with them since before they were people. Fucking pack a spare set of tampons like all women do. You realize that FMLA requires some actual hoops to jump through right? That's for anything from a doctor's visit to something life threatening. This is just "hey boss need some me time, kk :)"
