The only thing more off-putting would be hearing Bill Clinton, Chuck Schumer, and Mitch McConnell whining about their prostate troubles...

Several female Democrats gathered in late May to complain about how much their periods hurt.
Democratic Arizona Rep. Yassamin Ansari was joined in a press conference held May 21 by Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Adelita Grijalva of Arizona to advocate for Ansari’s bill, the “Reproductive Healthcare Leave Act.” The bill would force employers to let women take paid leave for “reproductive health conditions.”
Ansari kicked things off: “Today, we are here to talk about women’s pain and how long it’s been overlooked … In the summer of 2015, while starting my career in New York City, I woke up on the floor of my local bodega, drenched in sweat, being dragged into an ambulance. Two male paramedics hovered over me and continued to ask me if I was pregnant. I had passed out from period pain. Even now, every month, I have days where it feels like barbed wire is tightening inside me. I’ve taken 2,000 mg of ibuprofen in 24 hours and still been in tears from the pain. Often end up on the bathroom floor in the fetal position, crying, moaning, or vomiting.”
“Women’s” pain? I was reliably assured that men, too, can menstruate.
As Republican Rhode Island state Rep. Marie Hopkins quipped: “Ladies, you can’t keep saying men can be women, but then also say that women are a special category. You’ve got to pick a lane. You’re very confusing to the rest of us.”

Why men are fleeing the Democrats.

If, three days a month, women cannot work efficiently because of cramps, then, should they not get paid 10% less than men? (Asking for a fiend. ) 8<)
“The bill would force employers to let women take paid leave for “reproductive health conditions.”
Because a woman can do anything a man can do (If we modify expectations sufficiently).
LOL
Can I ask a stupid question?
If a woman is ill during menstruation , at most jobs, she can take sick leave. Isn’t this what sick leave is for if an employee is ill , with any condition?
Do we need menstruation sick leave now? Is that what they’re asking for?
What we need is a little more pride around here (/s):
What a weird thing to complain about in public. 🙄 I do not give a hoot about their cramps, swelling, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. Women have dealt with “it” for eons.
They are not special. Are they trying to get time off for the fake women, too? Or what?
I support this actually…along with increased paid maternal AND paternal leave.
Eve’s curse is no joke! 😳
Twelve times a year plus? There would be no time left over for an illness.
For what they are describing they should see gynecologists. It is not normal.
Just tell them “ to talk to the hand”, and see how fast they shut up!
Funny that black men and women voted so much for Kamala because her brand of politics would put them right back into slavery pretty quick.
What the heck is a “local bodega?”
I see they don’t consider the bris moment.
Most democRATs/DemoKKKrats have issues with more than just periods. They have a heck of a time handling commas.
Throw in a few colons and semicolons, and they reach for their bottle of Thorazine.
Trump got 24% of the vote from black men. That’s huge. McCain/Romney got maybe 5%.
Obviously, you've never been to New York.
