What would happen if no men showed up for work today?

I think those stats are really funny. All the "shitty jobs" have 100% of men, and as soon as you see surgeons for example you get a 35% of women. Soon all great jobs will be taken by women, and all "shit" jobs by men, and this will be the ultimate victory for feminism.

I never knew that was the definition of male privilege.

This is one fine argument against the whole idea. Even it we do have privileges of one kind of another they are earned by our work.

I don't really feel like I'm making the world go round by working as a newtork/system administrator but it sure makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to think that I do.

Very well written. Thanks.

They made a TV show like this but with women leaving. "The Week the Women Went."

They picked clips to make men look entirely incompetent.

Naturally you could never do the same thing but with the genders flipped.

"Modern, feminist inspired liberal democracy has destroyed women’s role, by and large, with plunging birth rates across the developed world, but they CANNOT destroy men’s traditional work, or we all perish. What they want is for men to do the work silently. With no acknowledgement. For no reward. There's a word for that: Slavery"

Very thoughtful and thought provoking article

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but with so many male engineers and scientists, wouldn't many nuclear facilities, silos, etc, be a real problem without people maintaining them properly?

"Perhaps the reason men have historically had the privileges they do is because they EARN THEM BY MAKING OUR LIFE POSSIBLE?

Just a thought.

And in the same breath, women have historically had the privileges they have because they CREATE LIFE."

I love this parallel, but guys create life too, it's a 50/50 job, (although in the end a guy doesn't have to have a baby rip through his genitals) and that's the kind of thinking that gives custody to the mom when she doesn't deserve it in court divorces.. I would rephrase that last but to something a little different, like they have those historical privileges because of their innate ability to emotionally sympathize better or something

What would happen if no men showed up for work?

Feminists would insist it was an act of rape.

Her husband is the luckiest goddamn man on the planet.

BlueSteelRose · 2013-09-18T10:44:52+00:00

Fantastic article, but I feel utterly let down by some of the nutters commenting on it.

xXxCREECHERxXx · 2013-09-18T12:49:28+00:00

The off shore oil industry would come to a complete stop

eDgEIN708 · 2013-09-18T15:46:52+00:00

While there are statements I disagree with in this article, I do find it funny how often I hear "73% of CEOs are male and that's outrageous because patriarchy", but the cries of "93.4% of garbage collectors are men and that's outrageous because patriarchy" are nowhere to be heard.

GunsGermsAndSteel · 2013-09-18T14:37:20+00:00

This article makes me wanna skip work today.

Mythandros · 2013-09-18T16:21:36+00:00

She brings up some very good points. So good, in fact, that I can't possibly add anything to make her points better.

I always thought the world would come to a grinding halt if men decided to take a day off.

nitoko · 2013-09-18T08:29:07+00:00

The world would end! Men are the beating heart of humanity. I am sorry but it's the damn truth.

Corrupt_T · 2013-09-18T13:07:36+00:00

And here I was thinking this useless penis meant I deserved a life in the coal mines never to see the light of day again.

That actually made me feel better about my shitty-ass job.

2013-09-18T14:13:07+00:00

You know strippers won't be taking that day off. It would be a jackpot like hitting the lottery on your birthday, if your birthday was Christmas, Christmas was also your high school graduation, while simultaneously being your bar mitzvah and quinceanera. That's how many guys would be getting lunch from the shitty buffet at your strip club that day.

Has anyone considered finding her email address or personal twitter account and sending "thank you?"

Not like flooding her stuff or anything, just a personal note that shows we appreciate her appreciation.

arilando · 2013-09-18T22:31:41+00:00

What is the purpose of this exercise? To show the superiority of working men?

limeshathrow88 · 2013-09-18T08:55:24+00:00

Wow, no wonder I'm feeling a lil under appreciated.

2013-09-18T20:21:46+00:00

I'd be more interested to see what would happen if no illegal immigrants went to work for one day, just to show everyone what the impact would be.

Seifer_Almasy · 2013-09-18T11:07:24+00:00

What would happen if half the entire worlds population didn't go to work... nothing happens. No shit.Anyone who actually works knows if you remove even a tiny amount of the work force operations may as well shut down. Im not really sure what the point is here. In any operation everyone is important, they don't hire you if they don't need you. This article holds exactly the same for woman. If all women did not go to work everything colaspes too.

Edit.

Are you guys trying to get reflected glory because of a group you are in? Just because a man invented the light bulb that doesn't mean because you are a man you were some how part of that. This looks to me like people trying to take credit for the actions of others. Each individual is important, if they are a secretary or a surgeon everyones job is important. Each job helps someone else do their job and you cannot take credit for that unless you are the one doing that. So stop going yay I am important because men do all this, you are not them, what other men do in no way reflects on you. Just do you job, you are important even if you are the street sweeper, you don't need to going yeah men run the world to be important.

TracyMorganFreeman · 2013-09-18T13:23:11+00:00

What would happen if Mexicans didn't show up to work for a day..... hmmm

arilando · 2013-09-18T22:33:39+00:00

What is the purpose of this exercise? To show the superiority of working men? Not that i wouldn't support a general strike.

avantvernacular · 2013-09-18T14:38:41+00:00

Probably a lot of firings.

CoolingtonBeans · 2013-09-18T14:48:18+00:00

a Day Without a Mexican

Ridergal · 2013-09-18T13:01:17+00:00

The same thing that would happen if no women showed up for work today.

Classes in schools would be without teachers. (yes, men are school teachers) Hospitials would not be running correctly. (yes, men work in hospitials) Plenty of bars would be closed. (men are bartenders, I hear) and Starbucks would be closed (Men work there as well).

Some men and women have useful jobs. Some have jobs that are less critical to the survival to our society.

Here's a mirror of what I got... which I'm guessing sums it up well?
