Omo, see gobe for Moscow! LOL! A report from The Globe and Mail states that a Russian lawmaker named Mikhail Degtyaryov, of the nationalist LDPR party has submitted a spectacular demand to the parliament: women should be given two days paid leave in a month when they are menstruating. As expected, some rights activists have gone gaga over the issue. Mikhail Degtyaryov said on his website that he made the proposal for the draft law so as to increase the protection of women in the workplace.

Married with two kids and 32 years of age, he said: “During that period [of menstruation], most women experience psychological and physiological discomfort. The pain for the fair sex is often so intense that it is necessary to call an ambulance.” He also said that menses can cause increased fatigue, decreased memory spans and reduced efficiency at work in addition to ‘distinct emotional discomfort’.

But you know the most interesting part? Human rights group have denounced the proposal, with some even going as far as calling it ‘sexist’. Anna Sobko, a lawyer with Memorial, Russia’s oldest human rights group blasted: “This argument is obviously improper, unreasonable and nothing close to being serious.” Another woman, Marina Pisklakova-Parker, head of women’s group Anna Center said: “If we are seriously debating women’s efficiency at work during menstruation, we should also consider how fit for work men are after a drinking bout.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK? SENSIBLE OR SENSELESS? Before you decide, take a look at this video first>>>
