Supreme Court: India top court rejects menstrual leave petition saying 'no-one will hire women'

Reply in thread

It does make sense. Just like it would make a lot of sense for parental leave to be the same length for both parents, and mandatory to be taken. Sure, it's the mother who has given birth and needs the time to medically recover, but that's not the only use of the parental leave. Both parents need to bond with the baby and take care of it. And if you make it the same length and mandatory you remove any argument against hiring women "because they might get pregnant".

Same principle, better outcome for everyone.

Spain has banned Francoist symbols. So why is the country still full of kitsch cafes glorifying the dictator?

These places are not historical. These are bars that have been filled with Francoist memorabilia to explicitly exalt the Dictator. Imagine a nazi bar chock-full of swastikas, the only book in the bookshelf is mein Kampf, and instead of a mirror you have a big picture of Hitler, all with the finishing touch of the radio playing Hitler's speeches.

THAT is what is being referred to here. And yes, if you go to a place like that, you are a fascist

There's nothing wrong with being gay or trans. Absolutely nothing. Christians are bad people if they believe that, you should stop identifying with that.

Don't worry, I don't hate you, I just hate your christianity. Love the person, hate the religion.
