The issue I have with this is anyone I see who has affirmed they will be participating in a strike keeps saying they’ll be “taking the day off” which I take to mean they are using sick or vacation leave. That’s not really a strike. They’re notifying their employer of their intent, they’re being paid for their leave...

If your work is essential, show up for work. Just drop everything that isn’t essential, like housework.

That was my thought, too. I’m a teacher and if I take the day off, most likely another female substitute will fill in for me. I don’t know if I have the confidence that every female sub out there will be on strike, but if for some reason they are, then my class will most likely be covered by an admin, which are of…

Not that I predict this will happen, but if all the female teachers strike in my kid’s school, and I strike too, I’m going to end up doing more “women’s work” than I would if I just went to work, because instead of my kid going to school, I’ll be taking care of her at home.

I asked this same thing the last time there was an article on this. I was told to join in with the strike and not go to work, and also to go to work and act completely normal, and also to go to work and discuss women’s issues with a dude.

Okay that makes a little more sense. I don’t really think my not showing up to work would make any affect because I’m a freelance dog walker and the only ones who would be impacted are the dogs. But I’m totally willing to do the other options they give us.

I’m def one of the people who will be working, I just started a new low-wage job. I plan on participating by removing myself from the economy, no gas, no snacks, no lunch out etc. I really hope this is an impressive strike!

Okay from this info I can see that they are likely to include more options than actually not showing up for work that day, but can someone explain to me the point of a single day strike? Isn’t the point of a strike that you continue to not work until your demands are met? I’m not trying to hate on it, I am just…

I’m all for sticking it to the man and supporting my fellow sisters..but my ass will get fired if I refuse to work.

I laughed this morning at the #whyimsingle that said “Guy I’m dating sits down next to me on the couch, I whisper to myself “that’s the cat’s spot!” Guess it was a think on Fallon last night.

Get the whole collection!

Obit: Esther never married although many a man attempted to court the wealthy woman. When asked to indulge these men she stated, “I ain’t talkin to you broke bitches, I got money now.”

Yeah, I thought I was actually being fairly appropriate in voicing a harmless crush. And I thought that for a “women’s site” people wouldn’t just jump to the conclusion that I have a penis.

Still quote Queen of Jordan from 30 Rock regularly — especially D’Fwan:

Yeah someone cheated on me in front of mutual acquaintances and tried to pull it off by telling them we were in an only “vaguely monogamous” relationship...y r u so dum tho ex bf????

I don’t cheat. But I would be SO MUCH better at it than most of these idiots out there. Use cabs or public transit, pay in cash (for rides and meals not for sex), no texts, no apps, only call on my office phone.

Considering he was stupid enough to use his wife’s phone, it was only a matter of time before she found out. He was probably being careless in other ways too.

I’m waiting for the story about a guy Ubering a drive-by in Chicago.
