Menstrual leave is offered in some countries and companies; however, there is a lack of research examining perceptions or effects of the policy. We examined the U.S. public's ( = 600) perceptions of a potential menstrual leave policy. Participants were asked open-ended questions about potential effects of menstrual leave in the U.S. Using thematic analysis, five themes emerged: (a) Supporting women and women in the workplace. (b) What do men get? (c) Concerns about the effects on the workplace. (d) Just deal with it [menstruation]. (e) This policy would make women look bad. These findings are important for policy makers to consider.
一些国家和公司提供经期假；然而，缺乏对该政策的认知或影响的研究。我们调查了美国公众（n = 600）对一项潜在经期假政策的看法。参与者被问及关于美国经期假潜在影响的开放性问题。通过主题分析，出现了五个主题：（a）支持职场中的女性。（b）男性得到了什么？（c）对工作场所影响的担忧。（d）就忍着吧[月经]。（e）这项政策会让女性看起来很糟糕。这些发现对政策制定者来说很重要，值得考虑。
