Yes, I admit that some women may be ill once a month due to issues of a biological nature. It doesn't generally impact productivity because we are still responsible for completing our work on schedule. But the comment that I found most interesting is that women have children. So, does that mean that men don't have children? If that's the case, then women should definitely earn more.

Hmm. I take time off work sometimes for a 'monthly sickness' but I don't think I am overall less productive. There are some that say that men spend much of the day thinking about, er - things other than work! Wonder how much that affects THEIR productivity.
