Menstruation is a natural part of half our population’s life, and yet it has been overlooked in the context of work – perhaps because it is seen as a personal issue or uncomfortable to discuss. The taboo nature of menstruation has likely contributed to the lack of understanding about its impact on workers, which can include challenges related to symptoms of premenstrual syndrome; unexpected or heavy bleeding; and pain from cramps, headaches or migraines while at work.

ReplyDeleteI immediately thought of this when I read the title.
ReplyDeleteBack in the early 1970's the company I worked for had many offices that were occupied by young female "clerks". The company policy was to have a small room in each office that had a cot for the women who were experiencing menstrual cramps. The babes were allow a certain “period” of time to chill in a dark room.
I haven't had my period in 68 years, should I be concerned?
ReplyDelete"To commemorate this Menstrual Hygiene Day, the Women’s Bureau..."
ReplyDeleteWOMEN?
How 'bout MEN?
Agreed. We need some policy for the times when those hemorrhoids let go.

I once saw a drip trail of blood leading to the women's restroom at work. So that was exciting...
ReplyDeleteBloody Hell.

Well when they get older they will quit trailing but the change almost makes one pine for the woman on the rag. But that is just me I suppose.
ReplyDeleteIf I tell them I don't give a shit, Will they "rag" on me?
ReplyDeleteWell at least the tranies can use this as a selling point.
ReplyDeleteWhat are women ????

Taboo? Or maybe some things just not mentionable in polite society.
