I'm probably wrong, but just 1 day without men.

Most public transport will stop, leaving loads of people unable to get to work.
Most sanitation pickup services will stop. An entire day of an entire country's trash will not get picked up. I'm betting it would take weeks to recover from this.
The stock exchange for the US would stand still, and I'm guessing the US and other countries will feel this pain sharply.
If it were scheduled, the amount of attacks that normally don't happen due to US male presence would skyrocket for that day.
Most trains won't run, as well as much trucks won't go anywhere. Delivery services would be backed up for a day, and again, possibly take weeks to recover. Perishable goods depending on being delivered in a day would go bad, sitting in stationary trucks/train cars.
Crime would skyrocket without male police being on duty.
Fires would burn out of control, and possible cause collateral damage it wouldn't normally create due to lack of punctual response.
No food production for a day. No fishing, no farming, no cattle control.
No guards for prisons? I'm sure there will be no riots...
No shipping. There are lots of countries that depend heavily on trade with the US. I'm sure one day without that trade would damage those economies drastically.
Janice destroys that toilet at work every day? Chances are, her double grilled Stuft burrito she ate last night and expelled this morning will stay on the seat.
There are lots of women Dr's, but I'm sure they'll be completely overwhelmed without their male counterparts next to them helping with the work load. The nurses would still be there, and they'll have a hell of a time keeping their patients alive long enough for the men to get back.

I can really only think that school won't be too badly affected, I guess, except the kids probably won't make it to school with all the bus drivers not working.

I know there's more, but seriously, a day without any men, in just 1 country, would have drastic and dire consequences for economies and livelihoods for not just the US, but for other countries as well.
