Periods are still something of a taboo subject, especially in the workplace, but a community and arts center in Bristol is set to become the first company in the U.K. to introduce menstrual leave, allowing women time off work during their monthly cycle.

Good idea?

What about leave for men and itchy bullocks?

Picture this.    Griping stomach pains, like the worse bellyache you've ever had, only tenfold.  Flooding blood.   Nausea sometimes with vomiting.  Headache.   Just a few of the symptoms a woman has to go through each month, particularly young women who haven't had kids yet.  The muscle spasms can be excruciating, akin to childbirth.  

Itchy bollocks?   You clearly don't have a girlfriend or wife.

Wrong every level

They have decided a pain threshold which will then open up the door to countless other medical conditions, which would then open the door further widen to people claiming they simple cannot work.
The pain threshold is varied between people and this is just one of a number of pains endured by people who continue to work..

Notice I say endure because plenty of people work whilst suffering many forms of pain. Once you open this door, you give the green light for more to feel their level of pain is now too much and they should be given time off. Like anyone else, if the pain is unbearable to work, then you take a sick day

But they have to make the time up.   This is not time given to them.  They owe the time back to the company.

OK. That might work in some jobs but not all of them. If there are deadlines, or if there needs to be a certain number of staff present at a given time, it wouldn't work. I've also heard that women who work together often become "synchronised", so they could end up all being off at the same time. Have you heard that?

Picture this: a sensation so scratchy that your hands grab your genitals as a "reflex" and if you don't, the sensation multiplies and becomes so excruciating that you are likely to pass out. Dizziness, disorientation. Just a few of the symptoms a man has to go through EACH DAY!

Imagine having no choice but to stick your hands down your underwear in the middle of staff meeting or crucial presentation.

Not sure if you're PMS'ing right now or you always have sand in your vagina but you're being utterly sexist.

No, 'YOU' don't care; you cannot and do not speak for everyone!!! 

Now that would be, well just highly unlikely and totally inflammatory too...and I never assumed to post in such wide range generalizations!  LOL

You're right I don't care.   I'm not sure those you keep accusing of trolling give a hooter's shit about you either.  I'm beginning to believe you do have an agenda though.

Nope, not in the least bit bored and she is not in the least bit boring, unlike some and we have had some great discussions.

If only she would concentrate on her discussions with you instead of stalking a few members on here, all would be well.

It's the constant harping on about certain people.   I could harp on about Didge til Hell freezes over but I can't be arsed and it's fucking tedious.  Nobody wants to read it all over the threads.   Besides, I think she enjoys it too much stop.

Serves you right for trolling her when she started.  Called karma.

Wrong way round, they never gave her any peace so she's giving in back in spades, as would I, what comes around goes around.  It'll work itself out.  Meanwhile, she's a lot better at discussing stuff than most.

You reckon?

I just report the old troll if she's disruptive. When you find out that she's storing away all the personal info you're giving her so she can use it against you later, you'll be putting a "hex" on her.

I'm sorry! I take that back. You obviously do have a vagina.

I got called more names on here in the first few times I posted than anywhere else.  That's no excuse to keep stoking up a troll fest.

BRAVO...seems yet another fellow member has been verbally abused and yet the ABUSERS are still here? 

But I'll allow you - YOUR POV and not complain about how/what you post --- as long as you can keep it clean and not abusive; we'd all get along, now wouldn't we???

But do Carry On --- you've drug this issue around a couple of topics this early morning, so it must be an unfretted issue you still have

It's very common on forums. A "new" person picks out the most gullible member, and then gives them little snippets of personal info via PM which might be true, or might not be true, and then sits back whilst they give away their whole life history.

You don't have the slightest idea what we have talked about, you'd never keep up with it.

She has a point.   A very valid one.  When you've had to deal with the worst of forum scum, you get a nose for these things.
