    Sure, but I’m sure you can imagine what would happen if your managers are almost exclusively male, looking for ways to exclude women from the boys club, and you take menstrual leave a few times a year.

      I suspect it would still be better than if I disappeared into the bathroom on a quiet workday and came out a couple hours later, sweaty and having obviously cried.

      I do take sick leave in general less often than male coworkers and partners have, so I’d probably just highlight that in my year end meeting.
