Working Woman
Following is the largest study on the topic that was published in the BMJ Open Medical Journal: https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/9/6/e026186 It is indeed proven that women do lose productivity due to their periods. However, can we say that men perform at peak performance every day of their lives? Also, is there any evidence that being a housewife and raising children a lesser important task than any other professional job? Keeping in mind that households build societies, and societies build nations, I would tend to disagree. Besides there are plenty of places in the world where the survival of families is dependent upon women’s incomes. Should we let them die hungry just because women are less productive during their cycles?
