"Workers who menstruate"? Do you mean women?

Workers? Don't you mean women? Is it so hard to say?

For pity's sake, who are these 'workers who menstruate'? Would they be women, by any chance. Stop using activist language, it makes @GMB look totally ridiculous

Should women who menstruate be entitled to extra paid leave? Fixed it for you.

Only women menstruate and I’m pretty sure we can handle it given we produce basketball size babies out of our vajayjay. how do you come up with this garbage

What's a "person who menstruates" called, @GMB? This is how much of an ideological policy from the Greens this, they still can't even call them WOMEN. Why any women would give them their vote baffles me. Greens will fast become irrelevant now Burnham is leading Labour though.

…women. 🙄

That would actually drive women out of the workforce. Employers can barely afford the staff they have with the increased taxation. Why would you take on staff who will work 7 weeks less than anyone else? It’s stupid. I wouldn’t hire myself on that basis. 🤷♀️

What about those who are experiencing a bad hair day? Does the Green party think their lives are less valuable?

Women; the word is women .. stop pandering to the latest Green party bandwagon. Hell's teeth, if it's not making people neurotic about the weather, it's erasing women. At least Sophie and Kate had the guts to say women.

Does the loony Green proposal include loony men who don’t have periods?

That would be women?

“workers who menstruate”?!!! WTF - they’re FEMALE WORKERS 🤬🤬 If you can’t/won’t use accurate language, get another job 🤬🤬

@GMB Why couldn't you say women with periods? Did you have to delete the word women At least one woman can still say women on your guest list! But seriously apologise for calling women - "workers who menstruate"! God oh mightily stop being sexist towards us! @JournalismSEEN

No. We have a country to run. And the country has businesses.

In my working life I never took a day off. But there are some women who truly struggle through this time and they should get the support. But it would be open to rorting and employer-employee trust would be compromised. It's up to each Employer to handle the situation on an individual basis.

You appear to have misspelt ‘women’.

Women. C'mon @edballs , you married one or @YvetteCooperMP reduced to a person who bled or bleeds?

Only women can menstruate. It was refreshing to hear the Minister spell this out as well.

Tell employers that women of fertile age are entitled to an extra 7 weeks a year of paid time off (based on a 5 day week) compared with men of the same age or older women. What could possibly go wrong?

You mean….women? Should women be entitled to extra paid leave?

Fully in agreement with this - periods can affect you in ways men couldn't even imagine !!!

Fucking ridiculous.

ONLY women menstruate!

Im sorry I know menstruation is hard but it does not stop people working. Most people only work about 225 days a year. To just give one half of the workforce an extra 36 days off is frankly ridiculous. It will simply end up in people avoiding employing women.

Sorry, but this is typical looney Green Party! 🙄 Certainly not for monthly periods! If there are other problems, then I’d hope they are in contact with their GP and off work if necessary.

"Workers who menstruate"? You've picked a side here, and made it obvious. Try saying "women" next time, just for balance?

Women. Use the word before you discuss it further. I don’t need to put my employer through the burden of registering when my period is and the extra expense of providing extra leave. Also, it’s none of their fecking business.

They are called WOMEN

Women !!! The only humans who menstruate are women. How hard is that to say !!

Goodness gracious is this for real? I’d be well hacked off as we all know someone who’d just get an extra 3 paid days off a month.

That would be *WOMEN* then 🙄

WOMEN. Stop dehumanising us.

Yes we understand your contempt for women Just as we know misogynistic Green Party men are contemptuous of girls & women

Workers who menstruate ? Women ?? You mean women ??
