UK charities call for menstrual leave for severe pain

I have no problem with this, provided that the new regulations are written to be completely gender neutral. Menstrual pain should be treated equivalent to the same level of pain in other parts of the body.

That’s ok, I’ll just identify as a woman and take the time off every month because bigots can’t say I’m not a woman.

The big problem with this is that it completely legitimises the (wrong) idea that women are less capable of work than men are.

If women need more time off to deal with things that are directly and unequivocally the result of being a woman then there's a perfectly serviceable (if revolting) argument that they're less worthwhile employees.

I don't think most women want that argument to get any support...

This should also apply to men who suffer peyronies, Balanitis, priapism, lymphatic filariasis (effects the genitals as well) Inguinal hernias, hematocele, and spermatocele.

There was a gentleman on a subreddit who spoke of how altering and painful peyronies is. I believe that the menstrual leave time should also apply to gentlemen with those same issues.

Peyronies is a condition where plaque, or fibrous hard lumps forms in the penis and causes pain as well as bending and curving.

Fibroid tumors are benign hardened lumps of fibrous tissue that may be in the fallopian tubes, cervix, uterus, and surrounding tissue. Causes acute pains (especially during hormonal changes like menstrual cycle) excessive bleeding, and (may) make child birth impossible or difficult.

Those two situations are of a similar nature as to how they both cause pain, are in very sensitive reproductive places, and disturb the well-being of the individual suffering them.

If they are going to give a menstrual leave to women- it needs to take into account that men too have extremely painful equivalents and MUST be included in the creation of this new "benefit". - They must also find a new name for the leave once the consideration for all the above brings inclusion for men's penile health issues.

Litteraly no problem with this.

In case you though feminism was ever honest, obviously anyone in severe pain, or even moderate or low pain, can use regular sick leave in the UK, regardless of the source or suspected source of the pain.

Just lying manipulative special pleading for women to have extra rights.
