Would you want to hire someone who (at any time during the month) *might*
not be as effective as a woman?

Seriously, I cannot recall noticing any woman's effectiveness decreasing
at the time of her period enough to be noticeable, other than one
occasionally saying she didn't feel good.  If she felt bad enough, she went
home and made up her time later.  Is this what you mean by "not as
effective as a man"?

On the other hand, I have seen any number of men who were frequently
ineffective in their jobs due to their uncontrolled interest in the
opposite sex.

By the way, is there a reason that you use the plural form "women" to
refer to the singular "woman"?

One reason I respect Time Inc.    :-)
