Ghazal Alag period leave controversy; Women of Grapevine what do you think?

This isn't even about equality because every menstruating person experiences periods differently. Some can run a marathon while on their period, while others can barely walk due to the amount of pain. It's sad to see some women completely dismiss this aspect in the name of equality. It's totally subjective and not for one person to decide for the entire group.

She's a businesswoman, when it's her periods she will take a leave and no one will bat an eye while her househelp will obviously help her manage everything.

Speak of the women who work in her company, if it is possible she will also remove all leaves for her employees and dock pay for each day not worked.

During the post-industrial era, the design of work structures primarily centered around men, overlooking the unique needs of women, who were less integrated into the workforce. Had men experienced monthly bleeding, leaves or accommodations of such nature would likely have been standard practice. The introduction of period leaves is essential to create a more inclusive workforce.

I have seen quite a few female friends who would refuse to take on painkillers or any medication for the pain and then tell me the pain is unbearable. The excuse is it might be bad for the body but the studies disprove it. More about self image of pain threshold. Why not just take the painkillers?

Coming to the leaves, yes period pains are bad for a few women and it will hurt them. But taking leaves would definitely mean less work/impact during the year - assuming your peers have same productivity- than the folks not availing the leaves. So is it a slippery slope? Next would the companies expected to give them preference in promotions and appraisals cos “they worked less days due to period leaves so less time to make an impact”? Or we just stop here? What about folks with autoimmune diseases? Or some pre-existing conditions which means they work through pain too?

There is no perfect solution i agree. But i do feel you can’t have it both ways. Give them leaves and then give them preference in work promotions. Also, should the leaves be mandatory?

Honestly, this issue isn't black and white. She's taking a stand from the point of view of the greater good. She's going to face a lot of flak for it but hopefully the leaves arent going to be dismissed for people who really need it.

Maybe Aunty is evil and showing true nature. Ladkio ka 4 chutti ka salary bacha kar konsa uski company profitable ho jaegi, sudh saaf bakaiti kr rahi ye.

I know some girls take unpaid leaves, pain at times get to a level can't even sleep.

When I go through chats it seems many are venting and giving suggestions to men how they must behave. 🤔
