UK menopause law change rejected as it ‘could discriminate against men’

In fairness what they mean is if they acknowledge this then most men by the time they are the same age have other health conditions that would need to be taken account of also. The older workforce would be defacto early retired.

When they synchronised the retirement age they could have lowered men to align with women, no they raised women lol successful failure by the femanists there.

And typically The Guardian obfuscated this by bringing doubtful “studies” about women’s health and access!

What would making menopause a “protected characteristic” actually mean? I got informed that regular workers can take a week off at a time without a medical certificate in the UK under law (I had one day off in the 5 years I worked there due to illness), so do women need months off due to “the change”? Seriously?

Clearly this is aiming to give women special rights. I’m glad it was rejected, although I doubt the motivation for its rejection.

Wow, something rejected because it might affect men negatively? That's certainly a twist.

I’m pretty sure FGM is banned in UK, but MGM is allowed.

Feminists telling you to not reduce women to their body and yet they do it.

Very early they realise that there is something called as discrimination against men

This is simply businesses lobbying the government to block this as they're sick of women taking time off and then wanting to be quotad into managerial positions. Feminists anting special treatment is nothing new.

This is not done to protect men.

It was discriminatory against men.

It also gets into equal pay for equal work. If women are going to get more time off thereby doing less work, should they still receive equal pay?

Aside from sex discrimination this is unfair to people of both sexes with other health issues. Why should someone with migraine headaches get less time off than a woman with bad menstrual cycles?

I know in spain, a law was just passed allowing women to take time off every month on full pay for their period.

Assuming they get 3 days off, on full pay...

12 (months per year) - 1 month (for standard holidays) = 11

11 (months) x 3 (days per month) = 33 days per year.

Women work 10 months Men work 11

How is this fair?
