[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds really stupid.  A day without women?  Has someone suggested getting rid of us? What on earth are we trying to prove?[/quote]

Totally agree.  Has anyone ever heard the term: "personal responsibility"?[/quote]

I don't feel "personally responsible" for gender pay inequity , and I certainly don't feel "personally responsible" for an entire culture under valuing "women's work".
- not a teacher, but I support those who are fed up. [/quote]

I don't view teaching as women's work.  No one is making women go into teaching.  I considered teaching, but chose not to because of the pay.  Just like I chose not to be a social worker.  It is a choice.  I don't think it's a secret that teachers' salaries aren't "high."  It is about personal responsibility.  If you don't want the pay associated with a job, don't take it.  When there isn't enough supply, salaries will go up.  If you keep supply up and then whine about the pay, nothing really happens to make the situation better.[/quote]

... oh well you don't view that way, so that settles that. [/quote]
