I see it more as one of those 'I shouldn't have to explicitly point this out... yet here we are' kind of issues. Like, yeah, a woman should be able to take medical leave if her periods are debilitating, but there's asshole bosses out there who don't believe in that shit so we have specifically put that on the books to take that decision away from the assholes of the world.
Can't we all just be allowed time off and reasonable accommodations for medical issues? Why get rid of this altogether when you could just approve it for medical issues for all? >

Some countries added period leave. I think it’s dumb because it should just be medical leave. If a woman can’t work because the period is debilitating and she can’t take off work on medical grounds — there’s something seriously fucked up about the medical leave policy. >

I could be wrong but I guess it’s more about virtue signaling than actual solving any problems.
