Can't stop laughing at "the menopause." I'm gonna call it that when it finally comes for me.
"Can't today I've got the menopause."
I think workplaces in general should allow for sick leave whenever it's needed anyways; regardless of your sex.
This would make it easier for people who are ill with something that is not transmissible and does not completely prevent them from working to show up to work to do only necessary and essential workplace tasks, and go home so that they can recover more quickly from their illness while maintaining the income they need for themselves and provide some productivity that the company can benefit from without taxing their health.
To be clear; there should never be a penalty that you are forced to pay with your health in order to keep your job. You should be allowed to show up to work to work as much as your health permits you to; and you should be entrusted entirely to decide how much work you can output without jeopardizing your own health and wellbeing.
