This writer is, obviously, a woman. And -- as a woman -- she finds this concept of giving women extra time off from work because of our menstrual cycles sexist and insulting.

Remember: women are just like men. Until they need five days off for some abdominal cramps. Mind you, this article isn't arguing for women who have serious health issues. Just women who have periods. Like the overwhelming majority of women since time immemorial.

Oh, by the way, isn't it amazing how the accurate terms 'woman' and 'period' are now used, as opposed to 'menstruators' and 'womb owners this time?

More from the Independent:

Don’t women do more than enough already? We carry children. We do the same amount of work for 7 per cent less money. We wind up doing the bulk of domestic labour at home. And, at the end of the day, no matter how much we try to deny it, we still exist in a world largely designed for men.

With this in mind, I think calling for a ban on working during the week of our periods is incredibly reasonable. Frankly, it’s the least we deserve. I’m not alone: Bella Hadid said words to this effect during her recent interview with British Vogue while talking about struggling with confidence as a teenage model. “I didn’t get that whole fluid thing going through,” the 26-year-old told the publication. “I was like 17, 18 years old, not knowing or loving myself a hundred per cent yet. I had just moved out of my parents’ house and gone straight into a world where you have to stare in the mirror every single day. And we get our periods.”

Oh, spare us.

And lawsuits for harassment and discrimination will follow when people point out to these women they're on their period.

Ouch.

Seems a little transphobic, really.

They treat it like it is when they can get special perks.

Every weeks should be period week.

That sounds positively awful.

'Pay me the same as men!'

'Give me 12 weeks a year off!'

Same people.

No, no, no. Not those equal rights.

Cause they only pay us 75 cents on the dollar. Duh.

Amen, sister.

YUP.

It sure is, and the Independent don't even realize it.

Can feminism die off now?
