Even with bigger problems such as women’s health and access to proper sanitation around, it is how a woman tending to her menstrual cramps made a man uncomfortable that is making news. He noticed that she had a hot water bottle nestling on her lap and asked her if she was feeling cold. You can’t use a hot water bottle to relieve period pains because it makes a bloke “uncomfortable”. Fine, HR, I’ll take 5 fully paid days off a month to bleed in the comfort of my own home,” “‘Guy is extremely uncomfortable and it’s unprofessional’. It IS really unprofessional of Guy to be this uncomfortable about periods.” — These are some of the reactions the incident garnered on Twitter.
