All the guys need to do it. One could make an argument, if they don’t, it will incentivize the firm to hire fewer women.

That would be intrusive, too - should demand a doctor’s report every year by age 45 of whether they’re menopausal or not yet.

A man can have cramps if he is married to a woman having cramps.

(humor is free)

Does a woman working here need to notify management if they have passed menopause or had a hysterectomy and no longer have a menstruation?

Two conflicting insanities, as I see it.
1. That only women can take the day off for feeling cramps.
2. That there is no such thing as a woman so a man is a woman and a woman is a man and he can take the day off too.

You can’t fight insanity with sanity.

What country gives its employees a period day?

Well, you’re stuck because of what your legal division has told you. The only way out of this is to get the attention of someone higher up operationally who can go in to you Chief Legal Officer’s office, close the door, and ask him what the F€®# is going in with the advice his department is giving.

Japan, South Korea and some states in India.

Maybe it’s part of the eastern culture?

I can’t believe that in 20+ comments no one has brought up The Bee.

Reality is getting too weird. Stop the world, I want to get off. Too many people can only emote. One can’t spell “stupid” with out the “Id”.

FWIW,”P” and “F” are fairly closely related letters, so it doesn’t take much to get “Stupid” by combining “STFU” and “Id”.

Infact, if one simply leaves the “F” as silent and fully expresses the “U”, one can claim that it is a compound word.

St. Isidore of Seville would be proud—it is like something right out of his etymologies.

And this post reminds me of James Joyce—who may have wanted a “Room of One’s Own” himself, but wasn’t trans enough to ask for it.

Does that mean that you know this is a prank?

Wait, you don’t feel its discriminatory, because women get it and men don’t, but then when a man takes it it dives you crazy?

Yet you go through the point of telling us the man doesn’t identify as Trans??? Well why would that matter, a trans man doesn’t have periods either...

I don’t disagree this is crazy, but this person can’t seem to see they are part of the cray to begin with.

If you accept that men can be women and women can be me, which they seem to since they point out the Trans label as somehow some overwride of biology... then everything goes crazy... YOU are part of the problem whoever you are...

How about women take midol and work - even if from home.
