Women have made tremendous strides in the workforce, but still there's a minuscule number of women at the highest echelons of fields like government or business, and when we think about who makes for a good CEO or senator, someone who has qualities like  rationality, steadiness, competence come to mind, and in our culture, that sounds more like a man than a woman, and the PMS myth contributes to that.
Žene su ostvarile ogroman napredak u radnoj snazi, ali još uvijek je premalen broj žena na  najvišim pozicijama, primjerice u vladama ili poslovnom svijetu, i kada razmislimo o tome tko može bit dobar upravitelj ili senator, netko tko ima kvalitete poput racionalnosti, odlučnosti, kompetitivnosti prvo padaju na um i u našoj kulturi to više zvuči kao  muškarac nego kao žena i mit o PMS-u pridonosi tome.
