https://www.foxnews.com/media/dem-lawmakers-gripe-about-economic-violence-not-being-paid-stay-home-from-work-when-menstruating Dem lawmakers gripe about the 'economic violence' of not being paid to stay home from work when menstruating
Rep. Adelita Grijalva used the phrase while promoting a bill that has 28 Democratic cosponsors and zero Republicans
Democratic lawmakers complained in late May about employers not providing paid leave for painful menstruation cycles, calling it "economic violence."
"Forcing a worker to choose between paying her rent or losing a day's pay to recover from a grueling gynecological procedure is not a choice. It’s economic violence," Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., said during a press conference on May 21.
Grijalva was joined by Reps. Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., who are backing Ansari's Reproductive Healthcare Leave Act, which is a part of her "H.E.R." (Healthy, Equity, Rights) Agenda.
Rep. Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., told TIME in an article published on Sunday that she often ends up "on the bathroom floor, in the fetal position, crying, moaning, or vomiting" from menstrual pain.

The Reproductive Healthcare Leave Act (H.R. 8158) — the flagship bill — would provide up to 12 days of paid leave per year for reproductive health needs, including severe menstrual pain, abortions, menopause symptoms, miscarriages, biopsies, vasectomies and more. The "H.E.R." Agenda also includes studies regarding gynecological pain management and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder awareness.

Some social media users also questioned whether the bill could more easily allow employees to discriminate against hiring women and shared concerns that despite it covering vasectomies, men wouldn't receive paid days for prostate issues and testosterone-related conditions.

They're a real woman after their transition, so its unfair for them to not get this benefit just because they don't menstruate.

Ah yes, 4chan, a hive of incels and fags, the exact forum I'd choose to discuss anything about female reproduction. You guys will definitely have a clear picture of the female perspective, with all the women on here, and all of you having wives and girlfriends to relate to.

It's only fair as long as the healthcare industry continues to severely underfund women's health research. If they cared anywhere near as much about, say, curing endometriosis, as they did about male pattern baldness, women's average period would be far less debilitating. Eliminate the source of the suffering instead of these legal band-aids.

Republicans love to violate women daily. How can you suggest otherwise when they don't allow unrestricted access to abortion which is a woman's natural right?
