Today, my boss called me in to have a serious talk. The "serious talk" was him asking me to notify him of my menstrual cycle ahead of time so he can "avoid that shit". FML

I'd consider that sexual harassment. That's way too ******* personal.

Because that's totally his business.

No, it isn't - that word is thrown around far too easily now. Misogyny is the hatred of women, just because the guy is being a douche does not mean he hates women. Tossing that word out at the drop of a hat is actually more misandrist than him being misogynist.

That's sexual harassment, and you should not have to deal with that at work. But the snarky side of me wants you to reply, "I agree; when's yours?"

Well it's called a cycle for a reason maybe he could just figure it out himself without being rude and humiliating you

It's called a cycle because it follows the same pattern of action every time until it stops. Menstral cycles aren't necessarily regular, nor are they necessarily had only once a month. Some people have a solid three weeks of bleeding, with one week of no bleeding, then another two of bleeding, then can go four months without bleeding. Believe it or not people who are having their period don't suddenly cease being able to function unless they have a disorder linked to it, in which case they may be somewhat impaired. People don't walk around giving off "currently oozing blood and dead tissue through my genitals" signals when they are on the menstral cycle anymore than someone with a uterus being angry, sad, or otherwise upset means they are currently on their period.

Maybe she was super bitchy last time she was pms'n and he wants avoid being a innocent bystander of her wrath

I would have told him that I am always mad

He's probably scared it'll attract bears. They can smell the menstruation.

sounds like you have freaked out a time or 2...get hat shit under control!

If he asks all the other girls the same thing then FYL If he only asked you because you turn really bad then YDI
