Company will allow women to take days off during periodShould women get the day off while they're menstruating? One British company thinks so.Coexist announced that its female staffers will now be allowed to take time off when they're menstruating -- and it won't be considered a sick day.Director of Coexist, Bex Baxter, told The Guardian that it was an important move.“We wanted a policy in place which recognizes and allows women to take time for their body’s natural cycle without putting this under the label of illness."What do you think of this idea?  4951

Two sides to every coin. I can see where the company is going with it, but I guess I'm a traitor to my gender, because my thoughts are 'suck it up, buttercup'. Women have been dealing with it since the beginning of time. 😞 4951

I think it's really strange and would probably hurt women's careers.  4951

Women already get sofas in their bathrooms to help accommodate menstruation and child birth on the job. Sheesh. 4951

That's the biggest load of bull**** I've ever heard.  What's next? Sending men home each time they get a woody.  After all, it "allows [them] to take time for their body’s natural cycle."  A monthly cycle is not an illness nor any reason to be sidelined, unless there is an underlying illness like endometriosis or something that makes a monthly unbearable. Take a pain reliever, buy some reliable feminine products, grow a pair and keep on your busy schedule. 4951

@Macitagirl: My DD is 11 and my DH is dreading the day that both of us have it at the same time.  She is so much like me and I am a handful so he says he is going to lock himself in his office and not come out until it's over each month..lol.  Good luck with that.
