Women will be able to receive either a discount on their swimming pool membership fees or extra days of membership if they cannot use the pool during their menstrual period. Also, consumers will get their money back from private learning institutes if they decide not to attend lectures even after classes have begun.

They're called tampons, K-ladies, and if you use 'em, you can swim anytime.

This is a logical expansion on the concept of blood money.

Eww what? geez are you 10 years old. Tampons, tampax allow (most) women to do anything during their cycle also know as menstruation. Some perhaps not. Swimming in shark tank probably not a good idea.

To be blunt...despite what you might believe women are not gushing quarts of blood every month from their nether regions. Some have very light menstruation and swimming with a tampon or Tampax would not cause a problem for you or anyone else.

I swear for all the swaggering and posturing that goes on here the mere mention of women's menstruation throws people in a tizzy and reaching for their lace cuffs and hankies.

Who is checking by the way. Got a gyno at the door?

real reality, what's up with your fascination with periods?

it's like you get your panties in a bunch because women can use a menstrual day.

if you were planning on taking a swimming class on saturday and you got your period and can't swim, why not get money back?

not all women use or want to use tampons.
and not all women have painless periods.

This is certainly an absorbing thread. It would appear that the Ministry of Finance and Economy and the Fair Trade Commission has certainly pulled a few strings for womans and consumer rights. I think it's great that the article got a plug in The Korea Times.

I usually think Real Reality is just trying to pad his post count with useless threads, but this a bloody good one. I wouldn't mind seeing a heavy flow of similar threads.

I agree. There's been some long periods without Real Reality posting anything worthwhile. I've been tempted to post a few articles myself, but I wouldn't want to cramp his style.

I periodically come back to the Korean Forums to check out what's going on while sitting here in my pad. It's becoming such bloodsport nowadays, with all the outflowing and gushing of flaming and trolls.

Not an absorbing conversation anyways to string me along...
