Spain to reportedly offer three days of menstrual leave every month

Quote:
The Spanish government is set to pass a law offering three days of menstrual leave a month for workers who experience severe period pain, according to several media reports.
The reform is part of a set of proposals around reproductive health and was first reported by Spanish radio station Cadena SER on Wednesday.

Other proposed measures include enabling girls aged 16 and 17 to have an abortion without having to get permission from their parents.
In addition, the bill is also proposing that educational institutions must provide feminine hygiene products when necessary. Women who are more likely to experience "menstrual poverty," as well as those in prison, will also be given access to feminine hygiene products. The bill will also scrap a sales levy on these products.
The proposed legislation is set to be approved by the Spanish government next week and would make Spain the first Western nation to offer menstrual leave, according to other reports.
Japan, South Korea and Zambia are among the few countries already offering menstrual leave.

Good question!!

I think trans-women will complain. And maybe trans-men too.

So can I go eat a lunch of atomic wings and beer once a month and the "identify" the resulting pain as period pain and take a few days off to recover? that might move a couple of foods from my youth back into the "the pain is worth it" category.

There are ~20 work days per month. Missing 3 of them means women should get a 15% pay reduction. Fair is fair.

It would be fun to watch their heads explode trying to figure out if they wanted this or equal pay.

A friend of mine, has voted republican as long as she's been able to vote, told me about this story and that she thought it was a good thing. To say I was surprised is an understatement.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are more female republican die hards who feel free same way and wouldn't fight this coming to the U.S.

Imagine how much more men could get done at work if the women could synch up and leave them alone for 3 whole days.

You identified the point where the illogic started.

I wonder if they actually have to be diagnosed with dysmenorrhea or just say my uterus hurts and the clots are big to stay home.

Does apply to all women or are those that have begun menopause or have had a hysterectomy exempt? How would that jive with medical privacy?

If they are in menopause, the logical conclusion is that they will be given back pay for all the days they worked through it.

Hernan Cortez and five hundred Spanish men defeated Montezuma and one hundred thoudand Aztecs. If Hernan Cortez came back to attempt the conquest of modern day Spain I think he could tell half his men to sit this one out.

Kidding aside, I won't lie. There are times it's pretty painful, bothersome, but that's what sick days are for if it's that bad. Only happened to me a handful of times over the years. Passing an ovarian cyst can actually double you over.

But those with endometriosis have more pain.

But three days a month is ridiculous. This will absolutely be abused.
Currently a happy listless vessel and deplorable. #FDEMS TRUMP 2024.

Seems sexist. I am not joking either. Do binary men qualify for a similar benefit? Maybe blue balls sick leave?

Women want to be treated the same as men, except when they don't.

Why am I not surprised.

What would make our lives better is if they force them to stay home for three days before the menstruation actually starts.

The monthly visitor is not something I envy of women..


That said, when all those women that work together start synchronizing their cycles do we expect large scale absenteeism?
