Since having my office job for a year, I have had one sick day off for my period, other times I have gone to work and basically had to sit through it (many times I have come close to fainting)....but if I take a couple of tablets and bring in a hot pad it usually goes within a few hours.
My boss understands if I'm not feeling too good and allows me to have a longer break during the day.......(not that I'm on a full time break anyway ) I think its just a way of life and you just have to deal with it in the workplace.

thats pathetic
Everyone else deals with it, why should anyone get special treatment for something like that? It's just stupid.

What's pathetic? The fact that I do deal with it like I said?
And my boss doesn’t give me longer breaks all the time – only a couple of occasions when I nearly collapsed on her!

I fainted once because of period, and I think it is a fair way for women, because sometimes it is really painful. But thay could prove the truth about period just with a dirty thing. Eww..

Don't be so harsh.
People have different pain threshholds, remember.
You have to be tolerant, just because you can deal with it some people really can't do pain- i'm one off the lucky ones where I can deal with it but some people really can't. Everyone is different. Just because I can sit through some stomach cramps doesn't mean the girl next to me isn't writhing around in total agony because its harder for her to deal with.

Exactly and you have to take into account that some girls get worse cramps than others, someone who eats prefectly healthy, exercises lots and is fairly stress free is of couse going to have an easier time of cramps than someone who is stressed out and eating total rubbish.

I'd love that. cause I get really bad cramps. I'd dont have a job yet, but I akways have to take the first day of my period of from school cause my cramps are so bad, I can barely stand up.
I can sympathize with you there, mine are the same.
I always had to take a day off school for it the first day because they would be so bad. I think it'd be a good idea to those women who have it bad their time of the month.

personally, i don't think women should get a day off because of their periods.
it's understandable if they have cramps that are actually going to effect them/their health in a way that would prevent them from working, or if the pain is too much and a health hazard.
but just because you have cramps, i don't think you should get the day off.
it's like in school, just because you're on your period, you're going to have a day off?
i can understand how some people may feel, but i disagree that women should get the day off unless they're in intense pain with cramps.

No One is going to die from cramps, it's a natural process and I still say they need to suck it up

it depends on the job
and it doesn't matter who's point of veiw it's from, because when you're deciding political matters you're supposed to think with everyone's best interest at mind
and saying that: I am all for it (though there will be a lot of trouble following it, but we'll work that out

there's an indian judge who says that women shouldnt become judges and be in positions that involve making descions about serious matters because he reckons that our minds are elsewhere during our periods and just before we have them

Well its easy for you to say that, isn't it. All to easy.
I mean, ten years ago I had a disease which caused me a helluva lot of abdominal pain, did I have to 'suck it up'?.
Its the same thing, I can bet you it might be just as bad for them as it was for me.
I still don't think this is a good idea. I mean, take time off if you need it for period pain, but I don't want it to become official because people will take advantage and it will be a disadvantage for women if an employer knows you are entitled to take x days of work off per year. They'll just hire a man.

You had a disease, not your period. People get bad cramps, that isnt a reason to quit working for 3 days (or however many) Take some midol and get on with your day.

Did I say anyone was going to die from cramps? No I didn't.
All pain is a natural process, its your bodies way of letting you know somethings wrong, but you wouldn't tell everyone in pain to "suck it up" now would you?
Its just such a tipical attitude to have, "oh I have to go through that and so does everyone else, so you shouldn't get allowences made"
Well lots of people burn there fingers and hands, but if it caused them pain to use their hand you wouldn't force them to do that or call them pathetic when they didn't just because you burned your hand before and it didn't hurt you that bad.
Well I say to each their own; if you've got really bad cramps take the odd day off, if you haven't don't! And don't begrudge people a few allowences because they're in more pain than you are. Simple as that.

Ok, burning your hand and having cramps from your period are totally different, but whatever. I think it's ignorant to have it a requirement to give women the day off for their periods, if you want to waste your vacation days go for it.

I'm not saying every woman should get a week off every month, but if your cramps are bad just call in sick.
