BF> You seem to forget that period-pains are… well… periodically. And once you’ve tried them on for size, you’d rather be at work than home with those… trust me.
The female cycle, which happens to be monthly is part of being woman. So quit the wacko crap whine about using sick-days, because man and woman will both get the flu… some women will ALSO get period-pains.
Humans are NOT machines... And that is a good thing. Society should adhere to humans, not vice versa.
