if you drink enough wine you won't even notice them... if it spills on your shirt you will be wearing red.

Why do you need a excuse? If you want a day off, just take it. If I want one I just tell my husband I'm going out when he gets home or on the weekend and he says have fun. Why is it such a big deal.

(Wait, that makes no sense.)

Your H thinks taking care of his children is a type of punishment?

You're not getting the sarcasm. The point of the day is to show everyone (i.e., men) how much we do and how much they'd miss us if we weren't around. Like the immigrant day. As a form of protest. (Can't say it makes much sense to me either.). PP is making fun of this idea.

why do men need an excuse to not shave in November... can't they just not shave if they want to?

My husband will be out of town. I also don't have the option to take off from caring for my kids, cooking, and taking them to their various activities.

The event is stupid, that seems to be the point. Should I hire another woman to do my work, oh no, right, that wouldn't work either.

No. Ridiculous, privileged, and missing the point as usual.

I have no interest in wasting a leave day. And really I can't say that I am any more or less appreciated at work then men who are in a similar role. And I am pretty privileged in terms of work- 8 hr day, nice boss, decent con workers, decent pay, good benefits. I really don't have anything to protest. I already know how incredibly lucky I am. My situation is half my own doing and the other half luck and privilege.

I agree, its ridiculous and I look down on those participating. Go do your damn job like everyone else.

The march made a statement but these days are grasping at straws.

+1 this is so dumb it's beyond me.

This. People earn respect for the work they do -- be that at home or in the world of business -- by taking seriously the work they do. Not by abandoning it in protest and solidarity because, well, who even knows why. Because their chosen candidates didn't win this time?

Grow up, ladies.

No. I'm a fed and I strongly oppose Trump and his policies, but I don't understand the point of this strike at all. I'm planning to work and take care of my family as usual.
