[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow - some really bitter people here! Sometimes - despite those in power - you protest as your message is truly meant for those in the broader community. Rosa Parks wasn't thinking that the immediate effect of putting her tired self into that seat meant that those around her were going to suddenly accept that she and other POC had a right to sit where ever they wanted and the Birmingham lunch counter boycott wasn't worried that they'd be missing out on a hot meal. The day without women intent is a line in the sand to say (dammit again!!!) that women's work is important and not just for that woman but for her family, for her partner, for her employer. Paying a woman 73% is it (?) of what a man makes is stealing from her directly - and from her family and partner (man or woman) too. If her partner needs to work that much more than his/her wages are effectively discounted too. And if your nanny voted for the Evil in Chief-so what? Unlike the Repubs who only want to meet with those who support them, the president only wanting "news" that fits his narrative - those head in the sand types may come around when/if the change these actions bring.

If you can afford to take a day off unpaid, then great, do it.  But, not everyone has the luxury to take a day off work with child care costs, mortgage, and work load.   Its called responsibility.  If you are a nanny, its not a big deal to you to miss work if your employer will pay you.  But, what impact does it have on the employer.  Scrambling to find child care, them possibly going unpaid to take the day off, etc.  You are very selfish.  There are far better ways to go about it.  Trump does not care if you sit at home doing nothing for a day.[/quote]
