It's not like something I like to think about, lol, but I spent the last four years managing call rooms and clinics with me being the only male. I've had plenty of women coworkers and subordinates, I have never once shamed or even asked for details beyond "personal" or "sick." I get that not all managers or supervisors are like that, but what the fuck is wrong with society that women are embarrassed to have a natural bodily function. I seriously didn't know this was an issue after like middle school when we had to learn "girls have an innie and boys have an outie." Fuck making people feel ashamed of something they have zero control over. Thanks for sharing.

Exactly! I love your comment! I wish more men were like you!!
When I used to call in to that job, I'd get questioned like no other. They'd make me feel crappy about me "Faking sick". When I really didn't feel well. Ridiculous really. I think employers need to be better about that. I'm glad you didn't have to be a jerk to your coworkers.
I think it would be more beneficial to just keep little baskets full of dark chocolate, red wine, and Tylenol as a get well soon gift. It doesn't matter what's wrong, one of those 3 things or the combination seems to fix it most of the time . :)
Hehehe that sounds perfect :) And so sweet!
