[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Compared to my male co-workers, the women in my office carry most of the mental load and do all of the emotional labor. This increased stress recently caused me to snap at the office and I started crying in front of some of my direct reports. I don't have children but could really use a 90 day break to fully refresh. I think all women should get something similar to maternity leave, even if they don't have kids. How can I go about making this a policy in my office ?[/quote]

Don’t be daft. And how dare you co-opt bullshit buzzwords like “mental load” and “emotional labor?” Those aren’t even actual things in parenting, just weird terms invented by fragile women.

If you are having trouble coping with workplace stress, maybe see a therapist or take some leave. Or quit. But understand this is entirely a you problem. It’s not some broad societal phenomenon, just like the “mental load” nonsense is not some broad societal thing[/quote]

I agree.

By saying women are "carrying the mental load and emotional labor at work"  she is basically saying is women create all of the drama in the office, and are too fragile and volatile to be professional and appropriate in a professional setting.[/quote]
