Spain passes law giving menstrual leave


If anything, judging by the comments on here, the SMB small business owners will be falling over themselves to hire the trans lot as they won’t be running off getting preggers, off with periods and no menopausal issues but still present a pretty face to the public. ;)
There is a niche market.

Very true but with one fatal flaw in your reasoning 😉
 
You can pretty much get time off work and a doctor's note for anything. Acknowledging it does no harm. Malingerers will try to get time off work so regardless of any employment laws.

Not something to lose sleep over.

Does seem a bit rich women complaining of hot flushes after working with women and them refusing to open windows in June because they're cold, wearing clothes as thin as the baize on a snooker table.

I haven't seen any comments indicating hatred of women, and the genuine 'trans' community has been infiltrated with people using that identity for attention and access to women's spaces. I'd say those people and their apologists are the mysogynists.
It’s riddled with low level misogyny, sexism and transphobia. What about the poster who said he’d avoid employing a woman of child bearing age? Then another going on about ‘women with penises’?

That's not misogyny! A small business owner may not be able to afford to employ someone who's going to take extended time off, the business owner has to put hard economic facts ahead of someone else's family planning. It's not hatred of women, it's a sad fact of life. Real life is rarely fair.

If the business owner said he wouldn't hire a woman because he doesn't like them, that would be misogyny.

As for 'women with penises', well, they're not women, and it's insulting and demeaning to real women to claim they are, IMO.
They're trans women, nothing wrong with that, provided they're genuine and not jumping on the bandwagon for attention or nefarious reasons.

The poster was referring to delusional people born as fully intact males jumping on the trans bandwagon claiming they get period pains, use sanitary products and suffer from PMT. That is a bridge too far for me, it's nonsense. Identifying as a women doesnt make you one, and it's doing the genuine trans community no favours.
 
Think it's a great idea..period.

Think you give a fascinating answer mate, playing devils advocate here but do you not think there could be women born genetically male but believe they were born in the wrong body? 🤔

No I know it is which isn’t great but I’m just talking about the practicalities If you run a small business reliant on a few staff. I’ve had this conversation with someone who ran a very successful business selling pressure washers when they took off. Made his million or two. But he was very clear on the issues with employing women in key positions their 20’s and 30’s. It’s not always a wise choice in a small business.

Parental leave should be equal for exactly this reason
 
After being proposed last year, it’s been passed in law now.


Bloody Hell!

Every law that minister Irene Montero has fought for and got passed has been an absolute disaster.

She's absolutely pathetic!
Spain's facing a change of Govt. The ruling party, PSOE, a slightly more radical version of the Blair Govt isn't popular-
The shouts from the right are immigration, the cost of living crisis, the assault on 'Traditional Family Values.''
Pleased that they are putting stuff like this into law.
Machisma , violence against women, the hangover from Franco and the hatred, the subjugation of women by the Catholic chusrch still reverberates over here in a way that people in the uk cannot imagine.
Step by step, poco a poco.
ANIMO!!!

The PSOE are going to lose the next elections because of their handling of the pandemic and because of coalition partner Podemos' role in passing some absurd laws and blowing money on pathetic campaigns.


Pedro Sánchez himself is embarrassed to be in government with podemos and can't stand Irene Montero
