The Spanish parliament on Thursday approved legislation ... making Spain the first country in Europe that will entitle workers to paid menstrual leave.

Wrong. It starts with "f".

> ...and women can just suck it up.

So maybe women and men are not equal after all huh.

Fuhrer? Looks like I'm not too well-versed in Republican dogma :)

As long as painful menstrual cramps are treated differently from other ailments, they sure as fuck aren't.

Hail Satan and legalize weed. Can you get over your own stereotypes already and quit trying to fit everyone in a box with a label? Treat people as people without basing your interaction on their supposed group identity.

> they sure as fuck aren't

Well, there goes equal pay...

I'm genuinely curious about the answer. As for not treating you as a stereotype - not behaving more and more like a stereotype on your part would help a ton. Your political journey into 'fuck you, got mine' land has been genuinely scary.

> Well, there goes equal pay...

You're not even wrong there, since it never existed to start with.

In my opinion, all culture begins at home. With family. And you cannot blame "the system" for that. By the time "the system" gets there, it's already too late.

I really dig what Denzel has to say about that in his own words.



> 'fuck you, got mine'

There are a few problems throwing money around can solve. Culture isn't one of them.

> You're not even wrong there, since it never existed to start with.

It "never existed" because "equal work" never existed. And the fact that we're giving additional protected status to people based on their sex is only furthering that divide.

And family exists in a vacuum? Please.

And how, pray tell me, do you intend to change culture?

> It "never existed" because "equal work" never existed

Dude. Wow. Talk about not acting like a stereotype. No, the system isn't unfair, it's that women/negroes/mexicans are lazy.

> we're giving

You sure as fuck aren't.

> protected status to people based on their sex

It's not based on fucking sex. It's based on suffering from menstrual cramps. Although there exists, hehe, a strong correlation :)

Elizabeth Holmes' apparently did. Along with every other white collar criminals'.

> And how, pray tell me, do you intend to change culture?

Obviously, not by throwing money at it.

> No, the system isn't unfair, it's that women/negroes/mexicans are lazy.

Straw man.

> It's not based on fucking sex.
