There was an article a while back about how women in a particular country (I think it was one of the Scandinavian countries? Not sure) went on strike against free labor (childcare, cleaning the home, that sort of stuff) for a short amount of time, like a day, and almost tanked the entire country's economy because men had to rush home.

I wish I had saved the link myself, but I've been searching for over an hour without being able to find it at all.
