Um, yeah I’m going there. I am a full supporter of equal rights among the sexes, but how is it fair that women do not receive at least one (additional)monthly sick day for that time of month? Yes, I am referring to the menstrual cycle.
The only reason why this isn’t an issue is because those people called dudes do not have to deal with this on a monthly basis. They do not have to deal with the nausea, the back pain, the agitation. Their solution, which has also become ours, is to ingest midol.
And yes I get that each body goes through it’s own process every month. But as for me, it is not the happiest time. The only thing I want to do on day one is sit on my couch with a bowl of ice cream. (Ice cream always makes me feel better for some reason.) I don’t even want to get the ice cream, I just want it to magically appear in front of me.
I don’t get how I’m expected to actually drive a car or pick out a smart looking outfit when I feel like my body has aged ten years over night. It just doesn’t add up. I guess we’re expected to be superheroes, because I don’t get how this is equal treatment when guys don’t have to go through this, period.
Can’t we do something about this? Can’t we start up a petition and make our boyfriends, husbands, and fathers sign it? Or else.
Yup, this could pass as a rant. (Sorry.)
