SA needs menstruation leave policies. Period

[G'Wobblez]

Endometriosis is not just a bad period.

11% of females have endometriosis
One in 5 woman have Adenomyosis
Most woman will develop uterine fibrosis.

‘Normal’ is a very broad term for something most woman don’t have the luxury of having.

Not mentioning uterine and ovarian cancer
Pms
menopause.
Migraines
Too much estrogen
Too little
Too much progesterone
Too little
Testosterone problems
PID
PCOS
Thyroid health that impacts periods
The list is endless and many of these are worsened by just taking a ‘free pill’. Or injection.

In a country where most are reliant on public health it complicated the ‘care’ of these issues.

Woman have hormones that almost never ‘settles unlike testosterone
Its a far more complicated discussion than
‘normal’ periods

That said.
Its part of being born female.
Leave will not cure it. Education might.
Edit: and health care.
What does men get? Blue balls that can be solved by a ****.

And here I thought you were a twink?

My sex/gender doesn't make any difference, anyway.

FYI. The contraception doesn't really worsen these things. Endometriosis can be treated with hormonal therapy. In fact depending in the diagnosis.

The problem is not the pill the problem is nature intended you to fall pregnant and you did not. Women of today have their first baby in their late 20s and early thirties. This has negative effects of vaginal/uterine health.

The pill actually preserves your uterus etc by preventing it from "aging" in lay terms by activating a pregnancy reflex in your body.

High dose antiandrogen formulations with oestrogen can be used to delay osteoporosis, treat endometrial cancer and so forth.

So ya you actually making it worse by putting fear into ladies over contraception when you have no idea what they do or how they work and how variable and dynamic the treatment is female to female

Women's health is extremely complicated. That is why there is a speciality of medicine dedicated to it.

Ironically I don't...the menstrual whiners do.

Is that what you White Knights use for lances nowadays?

PS. You could've done SO much more with that picture and your attempted chirp, I actually feel disappointed on your behalf. The cryptic nature and bad grammer of the comment really let you down, I must say.

@MilitantNightElf, check these people.

Seeing as most anything that's in place today was decided by men for the comfort of men, if men had periods we'd probably have time off for those days.

Equal work, equal pay is a myth.

Can confirm. My wife gets a much bigger pay cheque than I do. So do the wives of everyone I know. Women get all the high paying jobs.

Damn, this brings back kak memories.

I used to share a cubicle with a woman and we had four drawers that were communal between us (we were seated with our backs to one another). I used to know when she had her periods because she kept a box a tampons in the bottom drawer. If the packaging lay in a different position I used to know she's out for blood and ignore her until I see it remains stationary.

Says you, while using no punctuation when commenting on my SPELLING mistake.

Hoist by your own petard....

Men hating on men...so woke and fashionable nowadays.

Since women are 100% equal to men, why do they need this special treatment?

 

[TheMightyQuinn]

Equal work, equal pay is a myth.

Unfortunately not everyone wants to use hormonal contraception.

Wat utter BS and debunked many times.

 

[Gyre]

Most of the murders in the small town I live near are males murdered by females. Vicious with a knife.

Which town is that? So we can pull up stats.

 

[TheMightyQuinn]

So these women want to be able to miss 10% of work but get paid the same as men and other women who aren't snowflakes?

Try 23% to take of that "week of hell"...

Then we always been woke, because we been hating on one another forever.

Women are not equal to men, but it's only fair that they be given equal opportunity. Most men are not equal to other men either, they deserve equal opportunity to prove themselves anyway.

How convenient for them.

"My period is SO bad I have to take a week off work!!
"Here use this, it will make a huge difference"

"No!!!!"

Permanent PMS....

You know I'm talking about this incessant white knighting...but I guess you can twist anything in any way to suit a narrative.

Have you now actually convinced yourself that what you just said, is what Women's Rights were/are all about?

Women's rights were the opportunity to have the same prospects of men and to enjoy the same freedoms, not to get special treatment. There is a reason women's categories still exist in many sports - they simply cannot compete with men due to biological differences.

Voting, financial, social and property laws aren't affected by biological/racial differences.

Example: A person that is off once a week every month is not a benefit to the company, regardless of who they are.

Also, it's not a narrative, you just say stupid **** without turning on the filter between your brain and mouth.

Twinks don't want to flash their boobs, as far as I know.
