It's not our business even though it becomes our business when we're carrying the ball for malingerers? The things you learn on these boards!

Come on now, Obama takes enough time off as it is. Can you imagine if he took a week of every month?

Well, I know a few girls who get that week off because their mean trial cramps are so debilitating that they faint, can't walk and vomit/diarrhea. Normally there are underlying causes such as PCOS or endometriosis or adenomyosis or uterine fibroids

Sadly, there have been people put there who label women "sluts" and "loose" for advocating birth control be covered by insurance, even for medical needs.
Every health plan has prescription coverage.

Non-issue.

It sucks being a guy. We gotta unite and find a reason to get a week off too. Maybe binge drinking week.

I don't think this is a universal benefit in Scandinavia. Nike has an international policy of paid menstural leave for all female employees.

Japan's labor unions fought for and recieved the right for such leave 90 years ago. Employers are not however, required to pay employees on leave.

To bad you can't experience being a women. You would get down on your hands and knees and beg to be a man again lol And that's probably after 1 day. What exactly do men go through. You don't have periods, your body doesn't carry a baby for 9 months, you don't go through menopause and have all the side effects from that which can be extreme for some. Please tell me what men go through that you need to make fun of women.

All of that is a woman's problem.

To drag men into the equation doesn't compute.

I threw my wife out when she started acting like a demented fool. She claimed hormones and I claimed her problem, deal with it but stop making life hell for everyone else around her. Nobody wants to hear about it. She didn't or wouldn't so she deals with it with the poor ******* she suckered.
