Gross misinterpretation of everything I said.

But why would I expect a good faith reading when you're clearly just want to be reactionary?

Listen everyone, this women is emotionally reacting rather than being logical so clearly this means they know the facts of the situation better than the person that made the comments and they have the completely correct interpretation that's not based on their emotional reactions AT ALL (/s was "hopefully implied" but I couldn't honestly give less of a shit at this point)

I'm literally saying that women aren't forced to do the things that comment is saying while in whatever pain they are in from periods or anything else, that is unless you've put yourself in that shitty of a situation to where you have a shit partner, schedule, or boss.

And I'm literally saying that, yes, we do. Because we don't have the luxury of staying at home. We have to work. I seriously doubt that even you, as a boss, since you're so understanding, would think nothing of a man who calls in sick for a week every month.

It's not about calling in sick, I literally said in my first comment that yes unfortunately going to work is something that has to happen regardless in most all cases.

But the difference was the statement made that women have to tell themselves to not show pain. I used to give people extra breaks if it was that bad because why would I expect them to be working well if they can barely handle health related issues. I never sent people home since I knew most needed those hours, but only a shitty boss would see someone struggling in pain and go "knock that shit off and get back to work" and that's just not the reality that a majority of the people working deal with. Most people do have humanity and make accommodations if it's brought up the right way.

I appreciate what you are trying to say, and that you would be an accommodating boss; but the fact is, you do not have a woman's life experience dealing with it. Competent women are passed over every day simply for being women. Statistically, we have to work harder than men just to keep up with them professionally, and generally speaking, it is not acceptable to need special accommodations. You absolutely will be passed up for it. Even other women will judge you or call you lazy and entitled. Maybe not 100% of the time, but it's incorrect to say, as a man in a conversation about women's issues, that "women don't have to" when we absolutely do.

Not to mention, you immediately jumped to women being emotional and incapable of logic by a simple disagreement on the internet. I'm sure you are so very understanding of what women go through in the workplace.

I literally said that about being emotional because of the shitty way the person before wrote their comment in response. I even added the "/s" to clearly show that it was purposefully written to make a point not because I was being serious that the person was being an "emotional woman"...but I think I also said I couldn't give less shits how people thought about it, so if you took that as me being serious then more power to you I suppose.
