The only redeeming aspect of this sorry piece of carp idea, is that this is the last year it will be a take your daughter to work day. Next year it will be coed. Boys and girls will be taken to work. Oh the horrors.

This piece of trash idea stunk from day one. After two or three years of boys being included, this idea will drop like the albatros it is.

He doesn't speak for me.

I didn't "mindlessly" take my daughter to work. She and I thought and talked about it.

If this guy really thinks that our day at work translated into unassailable evidence that we endorse the Ms. Foundation, feminism, and a radical leftist agenda, he is full of exretia. His translation skills are barely third grade.

Neither of us, none of those.

My daughter and I used that day to reinforce her conviction of never being a salary slave in a big corporation. Which helped her work for her Juris Doctorate and the Bar.

Lovely lady, she would also object to some mouth-foamer like this telling us what we think. He couldn't possibly know.

She'd be more vitriolic, in fewer words, then I if she read this. If she sees this guys knuckle-dragging, she'll laugh and tease me for reading what she calls "toilet graffiti".

But this "author" is welcome to his opinion......keeps those racks at the check-out stand full.

Silly me! I consider every moment I spend with my daughters to be precious - regardless of the reason.

One less day of government propoganda camp won't do the girls any harm. Take 'em to work and let them see the how the real world operates. Hopefully they will see through the idiocy being pushed in the public schools.

Still, it’s got to be a step up for Cheryl from the days when she was fighting Clinton’s removal from office.

She obviously thought that servicing the Sink Emperor Himself was a great boost to female self-esteem.

I would urge all men working for employers who still practice this bigoted event to get on the horn immediately with their HR departments and politely request that your son be allowed to participate. When they decline or argue, stay polite. Simply remind them that "there are laws" about this sort of discrimination. If that doesn't work, here's the all-holds-barred loophole: Insist on being allowed to sit on the committee that plans the event for next year, with an eye towards including boys. While this doen't immediately break the TODTWD practice, the company has to obey its own rules regarding "gender discrimination" in the workplace and honor your request.

When I did the above, TODTWD was immediately cancelled and the "committee" of feminist malcontents disbanded rather than allow me a seat. I work for one of the the biggest employers in my state - my idea caught on here. It will work for you too.

There's more to what goes on around here than pounding keyboards.

'Take your daughters to work day' is also a constant reminder to school boys that they are second class citizens in this country.

[Harrison Bergeron]

And by the way... when I did this... I didn't have any kids. There's nothing preventing anyone - men or women - from speaking up for their co-workers who have sons. Certainly mothers with sons share the same concerns as fathers with sons - although, sadly, not all of them.

[Musket]

This day has morphed into "Take your CHILD to Work Day" where I work. Although I honestly don't know why. I mean they think that Martin Luther King is the only man in history worthy enough to justify having a day off for. Go figure.

[Jack Wilson]

If I took my daughter to my office it would convince her to be a stay-at-home mom.

[Billthedrill]

Hmm...all I can do is report on what I saw...

Treatment One - my colleague's husband works at a Big Software Company Near Here. Set his daughter up with her own little desk, workstation, filing cabinet...cute stuff...she played video games all day long. That was his version of Take Your Daughter, etc, and my guess is that it's the typical one...

Treatment Two - my colleague (hard-bitten, no-nonsense SysAdmin) brings her daughter in and sits her down in her cube. Puts the kid on her second workstation. "Mom, where's the games?" "No games - we don't have them here. Watch what I do and you do it as well." "But it's bo-o-o-oring..." "Yes, and you know those three months you get off this summer? Forget it. You get two weeks if we can spare you." "Mom, that's slavery!"

Somebody got an education here, that's for sure...I didn't witness the first Treatment, but I did witness the other one. We were all giggling...

[Dinsdale]

Anybody who brings their spawn into the workplace needs to be punished.

But it is not the kids fault.

Giving out whoopee cushions is the perfect solution.

[SuziQ]

Last year, Sir SuziQ took BOTH our son and daughter with him. We had to take them out of school, but so what? This year, they're both homeschooled and we consider it a 'field trip' to Dad's work. Our son is already itching to get to a CAD program there and play with it. I don't know if he'll be allowed to do that or not, but he's hoping!!

Our daughter is not as much into computers and the like, but I'm sure she'll enjoy seeing the place again. And she knows some of the folks with whom hubby works because we've been to several gatherings this year for families of the different 'groups' with whom he works.

I'm waiting for take-your-lab-mix-puppy-to-work day.
