Would Menstrual Leave Get Competitive, Though?
About this episode
<p>Whinge alert: in case you missed it, lol, Gem’s Hubs is away and she has realised she’s actually the shit domestic partner and that he does EVERYTHING? But should she tell him that, or continue on the path of “weaponised incompetence”?</p><p>And yes, we get into the importance of bin washing, because we’re a sexy and vibrant podcast. Then, we really must all donate blood. There’s a national shortage and so we live inventory a giveaway to see how many of us can go and help out! Speaking of blood, they’ve renamed the “feminine hygiene” aisle and we like that very much, we do. We have no time for period shame or men who get the ick with periods (puh-lease) but Gem is on about her cup again. So we get into Menstrual Leave which has just been passed in Spain and it makes us wonder if it has new levels of mental load for us women in the work place or if it should be honoured. We talk the mental health day / personal day juggle and how we should really bring back the red tent! Then in a swift last minute move, Revz solves Gem’s overflowing cup dilemma and boom, what are besties for?! </p><p><br></p><p>Not Spon</p><p>Gem: Assembly Label </p><p>Kate : Ricky Gervais on Netflix</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
