The reason someone might care about is if the female was paid the same as a man, yet received many extra weeks of time off per year. Such an employee would be far less productive and could not be counted on to do the same amount of work. Finally - such an accommodation would affect meeting schedules and other functions that would otherwise require this person.
You're really going to stick with that line of justification? Really? They're the same types of remarks men have been making about women in the workplace ... for ever so long. And they're empty in substance/relevancy.
Natalie - my daughter suffered pretty terribly and a nurse recommended one week before I put her on double doses of calcium, magnesium, vitamin d and c, start naproxim sodium (Aleve) two days before, watch sugar and junk food especially soft drinks. Voila--no more problems.
The discussion is about another discussion, at another website, in which women were talking about advocating inclusion of a medical issue which pertains to women only as approved time off ... such as in sick days which are part of the salary package for many workers. It's not about someone "stealing from an employer."
FACT: Liberals are the TRUE progenitors of the “war on women”. Is it empowering to women to hold up a naturally occurring biological process, around for like FOREVER, unchanged, as an event by which one is rendered incapable of performing one’s own means of gainful employment? How is this empowering?
Encouraging women to be slackers and take paid time off for what, cramps? bloating? a “fat” day? Who’s empowered by what, here? Really, **********.
Rather, empower yourself. Suck it up and have some female dignity.

I'm a woman. Where is female dignity indeed. I can't even believe this was put out there as a serious proposition. This thread is embarassing and once again I am reminded that the inmates are running the asylum.
I think menstrual leave should be implemented in the military. Those in combat positions and out in the field should be excused from combat for a week every month.
I guess having menstruation pain for some, is akin to a bear that wants to be free,
it's unBEAR able.....
Some doc somewhere was just trying to be clever.
He was saying to medicate before hand.. hence keep the bear in the cage. I didn't appreciate the comment myself but I can't believe that I had to explain it's meaning. Wow, people are dumb.
