So pretty much all the time, then eh?
LOL
Yeah, pretty much.
I would have been happy to have a period [of getting it] every 28 days.
During my first marriageI used to tell folks I could do 6 months without standing on my head.
Once a month would have been nirvana...

I know it sounds unjust, but there are many women whose menstrual periods bring uterine pain that’s not responsive to over-the-counter medications. There may be back pain as well. In severe cases they may vomit and have diarrhea. They get little sleep because of the hormonal disturbance (just as women in the throes of menopause often can’t sleep, for the same reason). A gynecologist will prescribe birth control pills, but these may not work to control the symptoms and can have serious side effects.
Many years ago we used to recognize that some women were indisposed during their periods, and back in my grandmother’s day certain girls just took to their beds. Now women are expected to conquer the world, and a girl who has real pain is laughed and accused of malingering at if she tries to take a few days off. Is today’s system really better than the one our grandparents had?
Too late now to turn the clock back now
You can thank “NOW” and the rest of the feminazi’s

The two truths about this issue are:
(1)Will some female students take advantage of the rule, just to get some extra time away from class? Obviously.
(2)Do some females have a harder time than others during their period, with a few for whom even the medications for the ill-symptoms are not 100% affective? Yes, that is also true.
The only ones who should “feel bad” (forgive the pun) about the rule are those females with a guilty conscience (when the real excuse was either not their period or not an unusually bad one). But they are the exception to the rule meant to help those that really need it.
As my ex used to tell me, “What Menstrual problem!, I don’t HAVE a Menstrual problem!”.
You’re exactly right. I credit the feminists, along with Hugh Hefner, with destroying much of American society. They are a corruption and a cancer we are not willing to eradicate.
That may be true in China. I had female students who had no problem using the excuse for missing a test and asking for a makeup exam. The magic word was "CRAMPS".
How about a female President, with her finger on the nuclear switch....
