@thetimes: The Green Party has proposed 3 days of paid menstrual leave every month. This is because conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis and polycystic ovary syndrome can cause excruciating pain, heavy bleeding and chronic fatigue that derail not just a few days each month, but relationships, careers and quality of life. On the surface the policy may seem supportive, but Hannah Prevett think it's the wrong solution to a real problem #womenshealth #endo #pcos #news #politics

No, men would use this as an excuse to pay us even less or not employ us

i think you should give 5 days paid leave to those with conditions that affect women, and 3 days work at home to those without it?

No, because it means an employer will have to consider gender, and it means that less woman will be hired

Absolutely brilliant. How can the Green Party propose this when they can’t even agree what a woman is. It’s looking like 3 days off for everyone.

it's ideal but it's just another loophole to pay women less then men sadly

So special treatment for being a woman, nope, that’s sexist, they are just as good and strong as the guys, they should come in

Easy: Give men the same benefit, pass it as "Testosterone Readjustment Cycles" and so men and women stand on equal grounds :D
