Ok Lets say a company has 100 female employees. Giving each of those this paid leave would mean paying for 1200 days. Le

You have yet to answer this.
You say that like I'm expected to answer a question on a scenario I didn't put forth.
My original comment was a hypothetical question to make people think about the money having a period costs us. You drug the conversation in this direction.
I don't have an answer to that. I'm not an employer. I feel like I'm repeating this a lot, but, oh what the hell, one more time: This hypothetical scenario is not something I support, nor do I see myself taking advantage of it were it to become reality. Based on that, isn't my opinion on this null and void anyway? Would you ask someone who doesn't watch TV to answer a question of their favorite shows?
I'm not an employer; I'm an employee who is more than capable of toughing out a day at work while on my period. So why is my non-existent opinion on this matter so important to you?
But since you want to pretend, well, then, let's pretend. Let's say I run Jenocidal Industries and I'm looking to fill a position. I interview someone who is like, "yeah, I don't work when I'm menstruating." Then, I'd be like, "you ain't right for this company then. I need someone tough."
Countless women the world over go to work and, to my knowledge, none benefit from period leave. It's not necessary. We can handle it; we've been handling since Eve. So it's rather confusing that you're asking me to defend a position that I don't really support one way or the other.
Whether you or anyone you know would abuse this means nothing. You could and that is the point.
People can abuse sick days. Sowhat are you getting at? -

No its one I put forth, that is usually how it works.

I told you. £60 a year of which £3 is tax. Then you told me to stop talking about it.

IT is perfect legitimate to ask a question about TV to a person posting in a TV thread, whether they watch TV or not. If you have no interest in talking about it, fine, but why are you in this thread?
I'm not an employer; I'm an employee who is more than capable of toughing out a day at work while on my period. So why is my non-existent opinion on this matter so important to you?
Well done. I'm not gay or disabled, so should I have no opinion on these things?

Well done.I don't care because it isn't relevant to anything.

From the article:
Fortunately my company - Pride Planning, which works on female rights campaigns - offers female staff one paid day's leave every month. Employees do not need to get doctors' notes, or worry about their salary being deducted for dropping a day's work.
Equal pay for equal work, eh?
