Corrupt Dictatorship Party

I just read an article saying how a state in India now offers women 1 free day of 'menstrual leave' per month and that Spain, Japan, South Korea and Indonesia already do so. And then the article goes on to say how awkward it is for women to come forward and take it because of taboos on public acknowledgement of menstruation.

I think they set the system up wrong. So in our country, we will be doing it differently. Allowing women one free day off but not men is inherently not equal treatment of people. What if people of ANY sex were given one free day off per month, no questions asked. Now everyone is treated fairly. And, would you look at that, now that everyone just gets a day off each month and it's no longer specifically tied to women and menstruation, the stigma for taking the day off because of needing it as a woman for menstruation also disappears, even if that is what it's used for.

It's like those countries tried to do a little good for a single type of person while avoiding letting others receive the same benefit, but with problems. The solution is to equally give the benefit to all people, which is inherently more moral anyway, and, as a byproduct of taking the more moral path, the problems disappear.
