The guy who took "period leave" (see bolded text) and is driving the lefty woman who wrote this crazy is my hero.

Welcome to the 14th Amendment. If women get special time off then the men have to have the same special time off. That’s how things work these days.

Why not simply call it “Personal Leave” and give them 12 days? They wouldn’t need to disclose the reason as “Period” and it won’t count toward vacation.

Yes and no.

I don’t know where this “locale” is, but it could be in a very sexist (female) country. Shocked that US hasn’t thought of that nonsense yet.

He is an example, though, of how “straight” “cisgender” guys can take full advantage of the insanity of US thinking. He’s not necessarily sticking it to them; he might just be thinking use the absurd insanity to his advantage. Just as many hetero guys are doing to get their jollies in the girls’ locker room.

Because they must also comply with the local countries law.

The local country gives women 1 day a month they must use during the month, and it’s no questions asked.

So, the company’s solution is to give the same benefit to the men.

I used to take 'fresh air' breaks years ago when smokers were constantly going outside to smoke; felt abused at having to work while they were being unproductive. They are mostly dead from cancer now, I'm doing fine.

Companies should not be caught with equal pay and all if they are also giving special benefits based on sex, race, and so forth. Maybe just offer a couple days of PTO each month. Wait, most do that already, so just let the women use it for their menstral break, let any remaining smokers use it for their extra breaks, and snowflakes to cower in their safe spaces. Bottom line, give everyone equal time off or give no one extra time off.

But this is in either Japan, South Korea or India. There is no 14th Amendment there.

No, they don’t HAVE to use it. They MAY use it, once a month.

I certainly wouldn’t. Few people have that much trouble with menstruation. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be by either sex in popular culture.

No, but it’s kinda hard to have uterine cramps without a uterus. ;-)

Do women who are post-menopausal get to do this, too, BTW?

But they addressed that. The country does NOT count it as part of “PTO” (that’s a new thing that didn’t exist when I quit real work) leave. It’s additional.
