Is paid menstrual leave a possibility?

If I may ...


I was referring to the monthly women's issue. Whatever happened to just sucking it up butter cup? Take a Midol or two? Many a day men go to work in pain and just work through it. Men aren't looking for compassion. Hell, I had a co-worker once that was passing some kidney stones. Went on for a week. You could hear him yelling and bitching from the bathroom. When he was finished, he'd open the door and tell everyone who wanted to come and have a look see at the stone/s and blood before he flushed. (Once was enough btw). But after that, he went right back to working again. Without whining about his predicament, or the next coming visit to the toilet. That's the difference.

I never took off for that. In all my years of work.

OTOH, young men nowadays do take off for every little hangnail.

How old are the young men ?

If it last longer than 4 hours you are supposed to seek medical help.

Orgasms lessen the severity of a bad period. Give them a vibrator and a room to get off in and all should be fine!

My poor girl would have it really bad if I didn't get her that symbian and sound insulation.

I always hated that warning. I'm here all like.."4 hours..WTF??..maybe they really meant minutes..."
