Yup! Just half an hour a month is all it takes to take care of a uterus. Having one definitely doesn't affect mood or cause cramping or headaches or any other related physiological side-effects on any other days. Nor require an annual specialist doctor visit. Nor will any uteruses have a 9-month period of intense activity which will coerce the owner's day to spend an inordinate amount of time doing actions related to having an in-use uterus. And then after that, the body having used the uterus definitely doesn't undergo any other changes that might cause lactation, which is definitely not a laborious process every day for months on end.

Nor are there any society constructs or expectations that cause people with uteruses to be treated differently from those without, especially those that might challenge gender norms that traditionally go along with those physical attributes.

There are no differences in pay, or career expectations; no laws passed anywhere in the world that might legislate either of groups being treated differently.

We definitely don't still segregate humans into different rooms to urinate or defecate.

You heard it here first! Half an hour a month is all it takes! The rest of the time, everything else is totally the same!
