Women's strike

Fuzzy_Department2799 · 2023-04-12T18:14:11+00:00

Judging by the engagement on social media and the news I don't think they were successful.

Yozora1337 · 2023-04-12T18:16:11+00:00

A strike from a society they created lol.

"Modern" women are funny sometimes, get me some popcorn.

BREAKING NEWS : WOMEN STRIKE in other news men still go to work because shit needs to get done.

jjj2576 · 2023-04-12T21:08:24+00:00

When is their strike? I am looking for a new job, and want to maximize my marketability.

ApplicationClassic19 · 2023-04-12T18:36:16+00:00

Considering how few essential workers are actually women, I'm sure most things would remain unaffected. The only problem might be with healthcare, doctors might just have to work a bit harder.

Difficult-Lion-1288 · 2023-04-12T21:57:23+00:00

Actually looking on their page, it’s confusing, directionless, and misguided. Ya know like women… They says it’s antiwork, anti capitalist, anti labor, but also abortion related, and sexism related, and basically anything they want to add to the list. Imagine holding your labor hostage with no clear demands 😵‍💫

Worldly_Piano9526 · 2023-04-13T04:59:11+00:00

Solution? Fire any employee who calls in sick on May 12th...

They act like men actually want them in the workforce... We don't... They had to throw a holy fit and create laws to inconvenience the rest of us and force their way into the workplace in the first place... Do they really think we are going to care if they decide to stop showing up? Hell no... It would be a huge H.R. burden lifted off of our shoulders, even if only for a week or two, plus we would be getting paid a family wage again. I personally; would celebrate if women collectively just stopped showing up for work... They cause too many problems in the workplace, constantly derail production, and are always getting good, hard working, employees forcibly terminated over stupid shit that any man in her shoes would just deal with... Absolutely delusional...

Would be funny if men staged a counter protest to protest women being allowed to cause unnecessary conflict and drama in the workplace on May 12th. Guys telling their boss that their available to come in and pull a double shift on May 12th. Then calling in sick the day that the women are supposed to come back to see how the women step up to men leaving the workforce... Lol

They did a women's strike in Switzerland a few years back. The result: a few useless screeching harpyies in the streets but life went on as normal. All the blue collar women in the workshop at the company i work for came to work as usual. It looked like everyone who is doing actual work didn't care about that feminist crsp.

Spare_Development615 · 2023-04-13T11:33:25+00:00

If women stayed home for the rest of their lives, it would be an improvement.

Less traffic, employers would actually have to pay a competative wage for smaller workforce, less bullshit do-nothing jobs like HR.

I encourage women to strike as often as possible.

dw87190 · 2023-04-12T20:26:41+00:00

I'm sure the country will survive a few fake nail, fake eyelash, and lip injection salons closing down for six hours

Metraxis · 2023-04-12T22:21:45+00:00

Sound and fury signifying nothing. Let them pass unremarked, and bring up how much they didn't accomplish when next they pretend to threaten.

AndyBrown65 · 2023-04-12T22:37:48+00:00

It’s probably the same in US, but in Australia more and more they are rebranding nurses and doctors as “healthcare heroes “

Its_me_i_swear · 2023-04-13T02:21:58+00:00

Traffic will be light that day

AspirationsOfFreedom · 2023-04-13T09:14:09+00:00

What are they striking for, exactly?

Usually strike has a goal, to force a business or society to change in some way.... but most men will only be inconvenienced and annoyed, causing further distain?

Isn't this kinda just a form of viritue signaling to suggest women have it worse? Because if they had the same expectations and disposability + invisability most men have, they would be the first to push for a modern trad wife experience.

dovanius · 2023-04-12T18:11:47+00:00

is it about killing babies again? I mean wow they really want to kill babies

or is it something else?

Final_Philosopher663 · 2023-04-12T17:58:15+00:00

Yes they work on essential services, as long as it is a strike for things that matter I have no problem and maybe we should take this as a teachable moment and be a bit more like them on that matter.

WhereProgressIsMade · 2023-04-12T20:44:43+00:00

Looks like it's mostly about Roe v. Wade being ~~repealed~~ reversed? Why not name it something less ambiguous so people have a better idea what you're about? It always aggravates me when anyone presumes to speak for all women about abortion when 33% of women in the US are pro-life.

I do agree with this one:

We want it to be known that we do not accept the legislations created or revoked that force the conjunction of religion and state

I'd rather the state remove itself from marriage and just leave it as a religious thing for those who want it like it used to be. I'm pretty sure they're using it as another bullet point about abortion though and don't mean getting rid of the concept of being legally marriage. Pretty sure they'd shriek if you suggested that.

xcheshirecatxx · 2023-04-13T00:22:21+00:00

Do your groceries and stuff the day before 🤣

No-Recognition-4033 · 2023-04-13T03:20:42+00:00

The problem is the brown coat, and red guard wannabes attacking free speech with threats such as the recent VCU protest.

echohole5 · 2023-04-13T10:14:03+00:00

Men should do the same. A woman strike will be an inconvenience. Men going to strike will cause the collapse of civilization within a month.

Law-No-Pain-No-Gain · 2023-04-13T11:32:14+00:00

National strike about what? The thousandth time of Playing the Victim for attention?

I am ashamed of my gender. Most women only know how to complain and wave around their victim complex, instead of getting a grip, taking responsibility and get disciplined.

worksmarternotsafer2 · 2023-04-14T03:59:16+00:00

How is dissing women and not supporting their human rights a mens rigths issue?

Iceland, 1975. Women successfully did a strike and earned better conditions.

Sir_vendetta · 2023-04-12T18:18:06+00:00

They aren't going to achieve anything that hasn't already been achieved..Women and men already have the same rights, equality has been achieved, is nothing left to fight for

Lolocraft1 · 2023-04-12T22:07:46+00:00

The message is strong, but I don’t see how a work strike has anything to do with your rights to do what you want with your body

Boo-face-killa · 2023-04-13T00:58:59+00:00

I can’t see it putting anyone out. Even if women made up 50% of the work place, it would be easy to cover what they do for a few years.

Simsimouz · 2023-04-13T09:39:30+00:00

I’m disappointed by all the comments bc the first thing I saw on this sub was this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/nationalwomensstrike/comments/12f8hl2/if_you_need_another_reason_to_strike_do_it_to/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1

And it seems to me that it is sufficient reason for any attempt of mobilization

Doesn’t matter if it’s “women” strike… doesn’t matter if it’s “feminism”… I mean, even if you hate feminism we’re talking about children… it’s shouldn’t have to be about the movement but about the reason and I’m appealed that it isn’t the main point here and the most comments I saw was about feminism and the fact that “we don’t care if women don’t work, it’s not a loss, like it could change anything”

This strike is about weird and inhuman things happening in your country it shouldn’t be about “feminazis”

ElectronicBoss2845 · 2023-04-13T22:31:20+00:00

I don’t think it will make a big difference. Women don’t really work too hard or long.

Revorob · 2023-04-14T01:51:00+00:00

The only effect will be men having to make their own coffee.

shit-zen-giggles · 2023-04-12T18:03:57+00:00

which country are you talking about / refering to?

hendrixski · 2023-04-13T00:09:15+00:00

And yet their movement achieves more than ours. We can do these strikes to raise awareness for our issues, too.

Exciting_Bluebird_53 · 2023-04-13T05:24:41+00:00

What do they think a strike will accomplish? All it's gonna do is make people hate that group for choosing not to work.

No_Discipline_7867 · 2023-04-13T10:18:18+00:00

Life will go on as usual.

AdIllustrious6191 · 2023-04-13T21:12:55+00:00

Just visited that reddit. They're heavy into the "Fuck The Patriarchy" narrative. So, if they do eliminate the patriarchy, what would we have? A matriarchy of course. I didn't see much about "equality" or "equity".

Here is how they respond to this post. Kind of funny to see how it goes back and forth

Aimless-Nomad · 2023-04-14T19:55:04+00:00

The same like this strike that went largely unnoticed lol. Ain't no one gonna care.

GiornoGiovanna_9 · 2023-04-15T04:50:52+00:00

LMAO on May 12th everyone is gonna be playing Tears of the Kingdom not invested in a strike😂

sgt_oddball_17 · 2023-04-16T16:53:35+00:00

The good news is, the gas, water, sewer, electric, internet, and phone lines will remain up.

The bad news is there won't be anyone in HR to ignore my complaints about Misandry in the office, but I'll survive that somehow.

Remote_Neck3486 · 2023-04-21T06:00:45+00:00

Makes my commute 2 times faster, im not complainin
