Women Workers Demand Menstrual Leave
 

Female workers at carmaker Toyota could soon benefit from 12 days paid menstrual leave each year.

WTF? Why not give Male workers Blue Ball Leave?
This is crazy....

article

That rocks :thumbsup

i think every company should do this..it's better than pissing away 2 hours a day by not working as hard as you might

Thats complete bullshit

IS this topic Drama worthy!!!

Only time will TELL!

comparing blue balls with menstruation is insane. goes to show what you know

ahaha how retarded

I want 12 days paid 'female coworker' leave. Women in the office place can drive people nuts with fucking 'cake' days, and 'sweets' days, and 'dessert' days, and 'health food' days, and 'poofy shirt' days - I speak for BMO and RBC as well as Citibank.

"oh did you bake something for desert day?"
"no I have more important things to do than bake "
"Oh thats too bad : ( what are you going to do?"
"how do you mean?"
"Well if you didn't bring any desert you can't come to the desert party!"
"I'll get over it"
"I'll see if I can get you in"
"really, it's ok, I don't need desert"
"of course you need desert, i'll be right back"

repeat 200 times a year

I need 12 days a year so I can go calm down my hormones and fuck a lot ... hookers paid please

..only if the guys get Jerk-off breaks 3 times a day (porn included)

wow...that's very interesting.
i think i'm going to start that here! :)

hmm

not so stupid

clever(female) idea

I think the new thread title is: What do you need 12 days off a year for? :1orglaugh

well you gotta show your blue balls to get the day off

copy paste the article. I don't want to register

I love it! Get them out of the office when they are in PMS monster mode... it just may save their job and your sanity... so I've learned.

I believe in equality ... true equality, so I am all for it -- whether or not I menstruate, I'll also receive time-off.

You go girls, I can use more days off!

That's awesome. Men have no idea how uncomfortable and painful having a menstrual period can be. The cramping, the bleeding, etc... and this happens every month. If a man's penis bled for a week every month, they'd NEVER work!

They want to be paid the same and work less... amazing...

hehehe....that's new:D

I don't know about this whole menstrual leave thing...

Sure, my cycle puts me in a mood and I have to bring my hot water bottle to work once a month, but all these excuses for not showing up to work have got to quit! It's precisely this... "I'm so special I deserve an exception from work" mentality that makes people lazy.

Just ask your parents or grandparents if THEY think that paid menstrual leave is a good idea... chances are they'll pipe in with a "When I was young we had to work so fucking hard..." story that will put our pampered lazy asses to shame!

What a pathetic excuse for time off.
I'll tell you exactly what I told my sister, and my nieces.
Sure it hurts. do I give a fuck? NO!

You wanted equality. Well here it is little lady you got it.

I have spent my whole life being a work horse, going to work when I was sick, injured, hurting, in pain, fever, vomiting etc. Because I had to pay the bills.

Take a midol, pull your 40 like every other responsible human being has to and bitch about it quietly, like every other responsible human being has to.

Can you imagine the women in the past who had to work factories, farms etc with very little or no pay other than what you grew telling their husbands, their kids, their bosses..."sorry, I can't work Aunt Flow came to visit."

LOL grow up, and suck it up, and get back to work.

If women want that, fine. But don't bitch about the glass ceiling when companies start hiring less and less women. Business goes on day after day, regardless of who's sick and when. If Sally repeatedly stalls and delays work because her tummy hurts, Sally will have to find herself a more understanding job.

don't you see that as something good? imagine yourself in the office surrounded by women in PMS. it SUCKS!

That was way before humans tampered with nature. Women weren't meant to have their period month after month. Those women who were working in fields and factories were usually pregnant on a regular basis.

As I stated above, I am all for it, I am not the one that believes work is more important than life. I believe some of the European countries have it right: take time-off whenever one feels it is required, and if the insurance company wants to reward extra 'sick' days, bonus, but that should not be expected (if I am sick, I do not want the company to pay, just give me the day of and leave me alone).

Yes, I do feel sorry for females (I have a sister and a mother, and have sympathy for their plight, unlike some of the macho pricks posting).

My sister does not receive monthly visits since she stared taking the pill. This leads me to ask: is this not so with the majority of females?

i can't believe they will get this.

That depends... most oral contraceptive actually enduce your period. There's only one that I heard of that makes your period stop coming and I believe that's a shot of some sort. Other than that, most women get their period, even when they are on birth control.

Sure go for it. I just insist that males also get 12 I am sick of my wife, girlfriend, or lover (pc and all) paid days off per year. Days were we can pretend we are going to work, still get paid yet spend the day fishing, drinking, or whatever.

don't you already get menstrual leave?

Yes, it would be nice...

Cowgirl up! Take a few midol's!
I have started taking the seasonal birth control pill, 4 menstrual cycles a year.
My grandma, had 4 kids worked her ass off to prvide for them...I'd be damned if i will sit around and be lazy about some cramps.

If women got 1 day off each month to deal with their cramps and such, I personally believe it's the men who have to work with them who would benefit more than the women who get to stay home. Any man who's had to deal with a woman on her worst day of the month should be able to attest to this.

I rarely call in sick for actual illness, but I've used several of my sick days for cramps. Some girls aren't lucky enough to just get cramps. Some of us get leg cramps, back cramps, headaches, diarrhea and nausea to go along with our regular menstrual cramps. I've had cramps so bad I've actually vomited from them. So if all you need is a water bottle and a couple of midol, consider yourself lucky :thumbsup
My sister has never had a cramp in her life, and I don't think I've ever been more jealous of anybody... ever.

why.....so they can get away with doing less work?

That sounds fair to me; however, I guess government will be willing to give such leave if they can increase the employees working hours on regular days..

lol... that's new.. people never run out of excuses...
