Reply to comment by yellowkats in Spanish MPs vote to approve new 'menstrual leave' for painful periods by mancinedinburgh

Women are expected to work consistently throughout their menstrual cycle when we do not consistently operate at the same level throughout the month.
Most women are fighting some combination of cramping/depression/brain fog/nausea/low energy/breast pain/intensified emotions for at least a week every month. Not to mention the blood part and everything that goes with that.
We can’t currently take a week off work every time we have our period, so we suffer through it. Men don’t have to deal with any of that, so women are currently at a disadvantage.

Do you need a book to explain that? Or are you more of a cartoon person?

Having a uterus is not a free pass to get everything...
The justification of "i have a uterus so I'm entitled to have more sick days than a man" feels absolutely unfair.
Should older workers get more sick days than younger workers?
I want equality...

Yes, older workers should get more sick days. It’s the mark of a developed society to be able and willing to help all its members.

What seems unfair is I have to pay a biological monthly bill each month, which costs me literal money with pads and Midol …
This is why moms need to start talking to their sons!!

If pads are so expensive - tampons cost you $2000 over your entire lifetime. That's around $2 a month. Far, far less than I spend on condoms. Using a product that's 3 times more expensive is a choice you make, and can't really complain about.
And cheaper solutions exist. Menstrual cups last for ages, and are a one-time purchase, making your lifetime period costs go into double digits.
Man, if I could buy a single, reusable condom for $15 or so that lasts me 10 years, that would be incredible. Sadly, condoms only last that long for incels.

You sound angry. Is it your time of the month?
Although the menstrual cup is a great invention, it is not practical for everyone. You have to fish it out and clean it. Can you imagine being in a public restroom and having someone come to the sink and clean their cup out?
And then you’re equating having an orgasm and the product used to prevent pregnancy to one that absorbs blood.
