Reply to comment by Dryheavemorning in Temple should be one of the first U.S. universities to offer period leave - The Temple News by dissolutewastrel

The whole point of this is to acknowledge that females have to work through an additional stress that not everyone has.

More sick days would not do anything here. Females would still be using sick days for this when those who don't commonly have pain 3-5 days a month get more self care days than them.

3 days is extreme though. 1 a month would be reasonable.

And people with migraines work through additional stress. People with social anxiety work through additional stress. People with chronic pain work through additional stress. Grow up and deal with it like and adult.

Yeah but if only women get this then why wouldn’t employers pass over women for men when they have the chance. Also not all women have periods and some men have them

And why would a woman want her employer to know she’s having her period?
