Got to give her credit, she's only trying to help women

I don't think that tidbit is insignificant. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

I saw a news blurb about this. A local woman that owns a pizza shop is giving all the women the day off and the men are picking up the slack. point 1: This proves the women aren't needed point II: Her business didn't close because either she's not that dedicated to women's rights or it's all baloney point C: This just bolsters the anti-wage gap claims that women only get less pay because they work less point Four: This is just worthless grandstanding that has no point | |||

In the ain't nothing new under the sun category, some 2,400 years ago, Aristophanes wrote a play in which the issue was narrowed to it's most effective point -- "Lysistrata" -- you should check it out. ________ Homo sum: humani nil a me alienum puto | |||

Well, what a shock! ALL of the women in my life, every single one of 'em, showed up today to do their work/fill their role. Thanks, Sap | |||

Good observations. I might mention on your point Four; yes it is grandstanding that has no foundation. But that doesn't mean it won't stir up a lot of stink that will cause some of the ignorant/apathetic/complicit to overreact. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

from comments in the link: " ...the school district to shut down for the day" Ok, let me see here,  school is closed, ergo little cuddle-muffin stays home.Little cuddle-muffin stays home, day care workers are mostly, you know, womyn, so there is no day care, so mom, a womyn, stays home to take care of cuddle-muffin. Got it! Retro!  _______________________ | |||

On a side note, if anyone every spews the gender wage gap BS, ask them if this is true, why don't businesses only hire women ...let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one.

Fantastic point! This so-called wage gap didn't happen over the last few months. Look to our previous glorious leader. SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>>  | |||

The striking women's platform http://www.womenstrikeus.org/our-platform/ March 8th will be the beginning of a new international feminist movement that organizes resistance not just against Trump and his misogynist policies, but also against the conditions that produced Trump We stand for full reproductive justice for all women, cis and trans We demand free abortion without conditions and affordable healthcare for all, irrespective of income, race or citizenship status. All women, irrespective of citizenship status, sexuality or race, must have equal pay for equal work, $15 minimum wage, including for caregivers, free universal child care, paid maternity leave, sick leave, paid family leave and the freedom to organize a fighting union in the workplace. we demand an expansive restructuring of the American welfare system to serve the needs of the majority, such as universal healthcare, robust unemployment and social security benefits, and free education for all Against the open white supremacists in the current government and the far right and anti-Semites they have given confidence to, we stand for an uncompromising anti-racist and anti-colonial feminism. This means that movements such as Black Lives Matter, the struggle against police brutality and mass incarceration, the demand for open borders and for immigrant rights and for the decolonization of Palestine are for us the beating heart of this new feminist movement. We want to dismantle all walls, from prison walls to border walls, from Mexico to Palestine. We believe that both social inequality and environmental degradation are due to an economic system that puts profit before people The emancipation of women and the emancipation of the planet must go hand in hand. | |||

Dude, I just looked over that link. I think you got played. There is no way that is real. Just a combination of some of the craziest gibberish and socialist pie in the sky bullshit. If that's real then,.... well I don't even know how to respond. My guess is fake website to mock this "movement". Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

It's a day without Hillary Clinton! Can I get an "amen?" You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless. NRA Benefactor/Patriot Member | |||
