...case law precedent. this is something a lot of people have been talking about on twitter and elsewhere, and i think it's worth considering.
if being hormonal absolves someone of legal culpability, NO ONE will want women in any position of power. immediately, they can't be used as a fall guy for anything. they can be reprimanded, but it will be "unfair" and "disrespectful" or "abusive". i think that regardless of any of the existing bullshit, we may see a "clancy clause" added to hiring or any other binding agreement where if a woman is currently hormonal, they won't be able to sign. they may be told to leave their posts if they're in a hormonal swing. they may be told to scale back their parenting responsibilities, we could see separation of mother and child at birth enforced by hospital policy or other means (which would super suck).
if this happens - if being hormonal is enshrined as a way to circumvent all accountability - watch the fuck out. that will be the kind of civilizational shakeup not seen since the abolition of slavery. it will be years of total bedlam as people figure out how to make an end run around any possible demographic protection for women. women, while still in power, will try to fuck anything up that they can knowing their time is up. who fuckin knows, we may have women sent home from their jobs on account of their monthly cycles, because if anything happens in that time who can be held accountable? only the business, because the woman responsible was "incompetent"
