Is the ‘Day Without a Woman’ protest elitist?

Washington Post ^ | March 6, 2017 | By Dan Steinberg

The organizers of the massive post-inauguration women’s mar­ches have called on female workers to stay home Wednesday, raising concerns among some supporters of the burgeoning feminist movement that the burden of the protest will fall too heavily on the poor.

The debate over “A Day Without a Woman” has been simmering on social media and flared in North Carolina last week, when the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools superintendent decided to cancel classes March 8 because so many staff members plan to participate.

While some applauded the school district’s decision, praising it as a gesture of support for its overwhelmingly female staff, others criticized it for suddenly forcing many parents to either stay home to care for their children or find — and pay for — back-up care.

That’s it! Well done.

So true and their poorer womenfolk are more likely to be fired if they miss a day w/o notice.

I never cook on Wednesday anyway so I guess it won’t make an impact on the world if I don’t cook this Wednesday.

I am picturing millions of guys having a great time. Falling on their knees thanking Jesus.

Perhaps it'll become an annual thing - a holiday observed with overt "manspreading", fireworks, barbecued meat, whiskey and tobacco.

[ConservativeStatement]

No need. Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti Day. Sez so in this ad from the 1970s(?).

In a Manhattan office this is a dream come true!! :)

Years ago, I worked at a law firm in New Orleans that had an interesting tradition. On Friday evenings, the managing partner would wait until the secretaries had all punched-out and left for the day, then would hit the all-call button at the reception desk, announcing that "The Drinking Lamp is Lit". That was an invitation to go to his office, which was like a throwback to 1960 or so with the bar cart. He even had a gun cabinet in his office. It was a huge space, with leather sofas and ashtrays - like an old smoking lounge.

The women knew that they should leave on time on Fridays, too - guess they didn't want to hang around a bunch of men once the booze had been broken out. Those were some great bull sessions. Not much shop talk, either - it was discouraged. Just enjoy a drink or two in the quiet office, watching dusk fall across the city.

My dumb lib friend called me up the other day ( She has no idea that I am a conservative )

Libtard Friend: Hey Grace, there is a boycott on march 8th, make sure you don't buy anything.

Me: Okay I will make a note of it on my phone...

( Opens up the calendar and makes a note on march 8th: "Make sure you buy something on March 8th" )

Me: thanks for the reminder...

Libtard friend: We gotta do the boycott March against Trump

Me: Talk to you later

(hangs up phone )

Me: ( To Myself ) what a Dumb F***ing moron...

So a competent strong female whines and ditches work for the day while her coworkers who need to get paid carry their load? How empowering to present yourself as a victimy whining bitch.

Conservative women should go to the protest areas on march 8th, and make the conservative men sammiches right there in front of the screw loose liberal women who are protesting.

Just to tweak their sorry libtard asses!

I get called honey by more women in a week than I have used in a lifetime.

I live in the South. I know what you mean.

"Do you want some more coffee honey??".

Sweetheart,Baby,Sugar are are also a staple.

[ConservativeStatement]

My father got shot in a foreign war and never uttered a word. These people protest because someone called them “honey.” Sure, I’ll take them serious.

It is about time.

Men having a safe space for a day is an awesome idea.

Word!

"(Overheard at a organization meeting): Now wait just a “woke” minute. “Woman” is a social construct. “A day without women” is homophobic, transphobic, it-phobic, and a bunch of other phobics we’ll make up in a few minutes, but anyway, so, like, it’s an expression of hate and so it’s a hate crime and so like, anyone who participates is a bad person, because we say so and, like, against all liberated theology principles, man."

Quiet, men are talking!

Every day I go to work is a day without women. It’s wonderful.

Take your words and parse them to Ludacris above.

Now wait, just a “woke”, minute!
“Woman” is a social construct!
“A day without women” is homophobic - transphobic - it-phobic - and a bunch of other phobics .... we’ll make up in a few minutes;
So, like ... it’s an expression of hate and so it’s a hate crime;
And so like... anyone who participates is a bad person;

Because we say so, and, like, against all liberated theology principles, man.!

Quiet, men are talking!
Quiet, men are talking!
Quiet, men are talking!

A bad day without a liberal woman in it is better than a good day with one.
