Make sure the strip club you go to isn't participating in the 'day without women' before you go.

don't worry, rath only frequents gay joints. claims it's cuz he's allowed to wear pajamas

You betcha. Better drinks. And I get my fill of show tunes.

Avoid spending money?

It's the only thing women can do well.

I believe you're doing it wrong.

Quote:On “A Day Without a Woman” slated for March 8 — aka International Women’s Day — protesters will underscore women’s economic worth while protesting “the economic injustices women and gender nonconforming people continue to face,” organizers wrote in a recent announcement.

Gender nonconforming? Does this mean either men or women born as such but identifying as the opposite gender or neither will also be participating? So, it's really "A Day Without a Woman-ish."

Quote:“Many women in our most vulnerable communities will not have the ability to join the strike, due to economic insecurity,” they said. “We strike for them.”

But for those willing and able, the coordinators have provided a handy form letter designed to explain the strike to employers and ask for their support.

Can't you just envision it? Please excuse my absence on March 8, 2017.....help me stand against unequal pay, discrimination and sexual harassment....by signing this form as my employer you consent to my attendance at this internationally recognized march for unity and human rights of all women.


Unity

And I would tell any employer if your female employees fail to show up to work, and don't provide a sick note from their doctor or take the day as vacation, to fire them on 3/9.

Actions have consequences.

I'm not the only gal on here either. I believe there are a few of us of the fairer sex posting amongst you mouth breathers.

On a related note... I was at a basketball game this past week and after a foul on a player driving to the basket I asked my husband if the shooter got continuity. They guy sitting next to my husband on the other side overheard and said "you actually understand the game!" and then to my husband..."you are a lucky guy!"

Yep.
