264 - More Privilege

So a couple of days ago I saw an article on the CBC or Canadian Broadcasting Corporation website about how the debate about giving women the new privilege of paid menstrual leave. The article is called "Paid menstrual leave debate resurfaces" and I'm

putting a link to it in the description below. This is a topic that came up earlier this year. But now it's back in the headlines. Men are more often shamed and reprimanded by their for not coming to work when they are ill with the man cold which is more serious and painful then when a woman gets sick. But now there is talk about bringing menstrual leave to western countries. It's already something that has been in Japan since after the second world war when it was implemented in 1947. And last year it was brought into law in Taiwan. But what actually happens if laws like this are passed in the western world giving women this new privilege? And if women are given two work days off work each month as paid sick days. You're telling me that women won't abuse this privilege? I've met some large fat and portly women that are too obese to get their periods. How is an employer supposed to know if a woman is getting her time of the month or not? Is there going to be some type of period police going around with blood sniffing dogs on public transport or the workplace making sure women are bleeding when they say they are? Let's assume there are twenty-two work days in a typical month.
