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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss made me cover for him by working two extra hours, because he had to rush home early to deal with an "emergency". The emergency was taking a shit, because he claims to have a phobia of doing them anywhere but at home. FML
Today, I was showing the guy I like something on my phone. My period tracking app decided it was the perfect time to tell me that I need to stock up on tampons, because I'm getting my period tomorrow. FML
Today, my boyfriend is threatening to dump me if I don’t give him all the details of my menstruation so he can track my periods with an app on his phone. FML
Today, my boss threw a pre-Christmas party at work. He always uses them to rant at us and tell us to be better employees. When the speech began, the alarm I have set for my daily birth control went off. It's the sound of an obnoxious screaming child. FML
Today, I had to have a word with my boss about how him coming into work drunk is probably not a very good idea. FML
Today, my boss pulled me aside to chastise me for being "off task" because I was chatting with a co-worker while working on a project. She then spent a half hour chatting with the same person about what daycare she should go to for her new baby. FML
Today, I was feeling really sick at work. I messaged my boss whether his girlfriend, who also works there, could cover me. He then came down, shouting at me that whatever illness I have, I've also passed on to his girlfriend. I'm pregnant. FML
Today, my boss recognized my shoes under the stall wall and had a conversation with me while we were both taking a dump. I had severe diarrhea. FML
Today, my boss called and yelled at me because he said I was "spotted" out after I called off sick. I was out getting the medicine the doctor had just prescribed me. FML
Today, my boss sent me to a meeting with a client I've never met to do some damage control and renegotiate his contract. For two hours, he alternated between threatening to sue us, and making vulgar comments about raping me in his office. FML

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

Oh that's not misogyny at all
tinycroc 10
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.

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