Thoughtful blog by @so_radhikal on the real harm done when we say we oppose #periodleave coz "women report from war zones during periods", & how our workplaces are already gendered in patriarchal ways - where womxn r discouraged from voicing discomforts medium.com/radhika-radhak…
The pain we're discouraged from voicing isn't just period pain. It is the pain of being sexually harassed, belittled, condescended or mansplained to, underpaid, overworked... @so_radhikal
The liberal resistance to even the idea of tiny corrective steps like #periodleave or #reservations shows us what an uphill job it is even to SEE the gendered casteist character of workplaces, let alone transform them. @so_radhikal
Implementation of any of the tiny hard won corrective measures that recognise employees as human beings not machines, needs robust unions. How many influential commentators for or against #PeriodLeave support #unions & #reservations? @so_radhikal
