    India 'to drop' menstrual forms

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6553567.stm

    The Indian civil service is dropping part of a new appraisal form requiring female employees to detail their menstrual cycles, a top official says.
    The ministry of personnel says that the decision to delete the controversial part of the form was taken following an intervention by the prime minister.

    Some female civil servants described the form as grossly insensitive.

    The questions were reported to have been put in the 2007 appraisal on advice from the health ministry.

    The thing they say about how they use one hand to eat and the other to wipe their ass is not a myth.

    Why the Hell did they have to describe it in the first place?!?!?

    If I were one of those women, I'd have gone into immense, tummy-turning detail, just to piss the higher-ups off.
