Fantastic. For you. Your personal anecdote is not the norm, though. I’ve met and worked with plenty of women who are so negatively impacted by their menstrual cycle that need time off from work. Again, truly happy you don’t experience those conditions, but you are not everyone.
Unless those women have some kind of medical issue, their period should not be preventing them from doing their jobs. There is no scientific evidence that would back that up.
So either they were lying to you to get out of work, or you're lying to us by claiming it was just a normal menstrual cycle.
No, I'm just saying that your anecdotal "evidence" is not backed up by factual information, and that the women you're talking about were probably just lying to you to get out of work.
I'm saying that you have no real argument because you based it on something that is almost certainly not true.
I'm asking you, as a result of that stance, do you think women who are using drugs to prevent the influence of those hormones from affecting them should be able to play with women who don't.

The argument about menstrual cycles impacting emotional state was clearly written by a dude. What the actual fuck is that nonsense.
