Oppress Me, Please

Yet another well-intended study gone horribly horribly wrong.
MSN Women's Health has a story about a study reported in the Journal of Occupational and Evironmental Medicine about female employees aged 18-45 and the effects of PMS symptoms on job performance.
But the largest impact of PMS was on missed work time and productivity. Women with PMS had an average 14 percent reduction in expected work hours per week and a 15 percent reduction in work productivity, compared to women without PMS.

Good. A scientific study to prove that women are too emotional to be a.) paid the same or b.) hired in the first place. Thanks JOEM! We needed this!

  • Serves 'em right! I say send 'em all back to where they came from! Make them live in tents outside the village with the gays!

    Isn't it great when you can be racist and sexist and heterocentric all in one comment?

    I'm curious. How did they measure productivity? Did they study certain fields? Maybe I should read the study. It all sounds sketchy to me. Damn MSN. They're always itching to put anything in the headlines to sell papers.
