After coming out in impressive numbers to march on Washington and throughout the world, the Women's March has their next activism idea: women go on strike for a day.

The group tweeted the flyer from its official Twitter account, saying that the date is to be determined. The tagline for the "event" is "A day without a woman."

"A day without a woman."

That's not much of a threat.  More like a treat!


These people don't put much thought into these things.  Seriously what is difference between one of these women and your job?
After a few years, your job still sucks.

I have a better idea.  How about if they just don't talk for a day?

If my wife reads this, I'm dead.

Maybe then I'd be able to find a job where I can use my degree.

Hang on a bit and take your wallet to N.Y., I just heard they are going to reopen a Playboy Club there. I doubt those women will be protesting men. :whistle:

That's exciting. I'm heading up when it opens.

... Strikes generally have an end goal that's attainable--be it higher wages, better policies in the workplace, etc.--and they also generally last longer than one day to actually have an impact. Having "A day without a woman" won't accomplish anything, and will likely result in nothing but eye rolls and annoyances.
Not to the fellows here, if the comments above are any indication.  :silly:

Once more, the forces of Lysistrata rear their head.  **nononono*

Been looking at my favorite lefty corner of the net since this was announced - they are all over it. It's sadly amusing.

If I strike, I don't get paid. While it's not much, it does cover the grocery bill.  :broc:
