I think that's a good thing. Now men need to demand automatic "kitchen passes" for a night out with the boys each month. That would be fair!

[SlowBoat407]

God help the men if they turn down menstrual leave!

[writer33]

This is a bloody subject. We could beat this to death. :)

[rockabyebaby]

Paleeeeeeeeeeeeze suck it up you bunch of babies.

[socalrepubminority]

it's good because male co-workers wont have to deal with the "illness" from those on their periods.

[kendu]

this is the 2nd thread today regarding pms.
Is it that time of the month here ?

Good idea beins as how they are unclean then.
Keep 'em outta the wheat...keep them outta the 4-Runners.

What a crock.

I demand absolute equality in the workplace! If women get "Menstrual Leave", then men should get it too.

[Tarpaulin]

I predicted this when those smokers got fired recently.

[flying Elvis]

Men should require blue ball leave if this is accepted.

[Semper Paratus]

This is discriminatory to post-menopausal women.

[Mears]

Women today are becoming damn whining babies.

Unbelievable!

Comment was being sought from Toyota Australia.

So the situation is fluid at the moment.

>>>"A lot of women have terribly bad periods and they are genuinely ill and we simply say that has to be recognised."<<

ever hear of midol, tylenol, advil, etc. etc. etc. this is just another excuse for women to take a day off

[azhenfud]

To be fair, men should get paid hardship leave....;-)

[aynrandfreak]

This undercuts the whole equal pay argument.

[DustyMoment]

The jaw drops . . . . .

The mind reels . . . . .

Is THIS the most important thing a union has to worry about!!??

If so, it's time to be done with unions!!!!!!!!!

Female workers ask for paid menstrual leave

This could lead to a vicious cycle.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Oh, Good God. Give me a BREAK.

Okay, as a male, can I have "My nuts hurt" leave? I figure 12 days a year paid leave should be enough. I'll take all 12 days at the end of December. And I want my holiday pay too.

[ladtx]

Men should get the same thing, so we can get away from those wimmen who have PMS.

My wife was the first female supervisor in a southern cotton mill. The men used to let the women leave because of "female problems" because they didn't want to discuss it. After my wife got there, they just sent them to her. My wife would tell them "We all have the curse, sister, get back to work". That ended that.
