Should you be able to take time off of work/school because of your period?

Je

I’ve been thinking about this for quite some time and although I don’t believe it will ever realistically happen, I wanted to get others’ thoughts about it. Do you believe people should be able to take time off of work/school during their period? Some people’s periods are extremely debilitating to the point where they vomit and can’t leave their bed. My periods are pretty heavy and it’s stressful having to deal with that in a working environment, as we are supposed to be working as much as possible with minimal bathroom breaks.

I know some women who experience no cramping or symptoms during their period so I’m not sure this would interest them at all, this is more towards people whose periods effect them greatly day to day.

I’m not sure if companies would provide a type of paid leave either but like I said I don’t believe this will ever happen, but I think it is something that should be looked into, what do you think?
