    It’s essentially medical leave because of women’s biology. I can’t imagine the mental hoops you jumped through to conclude that this is only appearing to accommodate women but actually it’s building barriers.

      I’m not sure how much time you’ve spent in South East Asia, and Thailand specifically, but professional roles are heavily male dominated, old boys clubs, pay gaps, et cetera.

      If an employee takes “menstrual leave”, that’s an easy way for male dominated management to suggest that women aren’t suitable for higher level roles because they are unpredictable and less physically capable.

      It’s pretty easy to imagine these mental hoops honestly.
