Acharya Prashant discusses the implications of menstrual leave policies, arguing that such concessions often reinforce patriarchal notions that women are biologically fragile and do not belong in the workplace. He explains that traditional patriarchy may appear generous by offering leaves or shorter working hours, but these actions serve to maintain the idea that women are primarily caregivers and men are providers. By accepting these privileges, women may inadvertently validate the argument that their biology hinders their professional capacity, which can ultimately stall their career progress and lead to their exclusion from high-responsibility roles.
