Are you sure they are intending it in a diminutive sense and not a familiar or affectionate sense? Buddy is pretty common to call people you are being friendly with in American English at least.

Most of this is minutia that I am not in an informed enough position to comment on, but what a take three quarters into the article that they should keep their local cops because they don’t have an inquest process when people are killed!

For most people who menstruate, they bleed for around 7 days but that’s not the number of days spent in pain, which are typically 1-3 days with varying levels discomfort. Peak discomfort may only be for a few hours when appropriately treated. Flexibility here might include working from home if an option, where you can be under a heat pack and well medicated, up to time off (partial days off here can be important!). People who need to take multiple days off a month for this 1) probably would do it anyway and maybe call it a headache or something else instead, and 2) may need further medical care and attention (that they may be able to receive if they aren’t spending all of their sick time on this one issue).
