    Will this be as big as the Women's march? Or will it be confined to the large coastal cities? Will the MSM heavily promote this?

    The Women's March organizers are planning a massive 'day without women' strike
    Leanna Garfield,Business Insider Mon, Feb 6 11:12 AM PST

    (A protester at the Women's March on Washington.Leanna Garfield/Business Insider)
    The organizers of the Women's March on Washington — the protest that drew an estimated half a million people in Washington, DC, alone — are now planning a mass strike.

    "The will of the people will stand," the organizers posted on Twitter. The date of the strike is still to be determined.


    The announcement follows two New York City strikes from groups affected by President Donald Trump's executive order temporarily barring immigrants from seven majority-Muslim countries and all refugees from entering the US (the order was placed on a temporary hold on Friday).

    On January 28, members of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance went on a one-hour strike in solidarity with protesters at JFK airport. Uber, however, was still servicing riders, which prompted the #DeleteUber hashtag that led to 200,000 deleted accounts, according to The Verge.

    A week later, members of New York City's Yemeni-American community closed hundreds of their markets and protested in Brooklyn.

    Another group of grassroots organizers are planning a general strike on February 17 to protest Trump's policies.

    Business Insider has reached out to the Women's March organizers for comment.

    So let's plan a day without men to protest all of the abuse we've tolerated in order to be gentlemen.

    It will end up being a national day without drama.

    Hope it works out for them.

    Oh, get with it ladies. If women were in charge of this nation, they would be in charge of the USA and Russia and China would be in charge of the rest of the world.
    Your issues are not all that big or even real.

    Without men the US would be conquered in probably 24 hours or less.

    There are still some legitimate issues but all in all, this isn't 1955, or even 1990 any longer. Many women are just playing the perpetual victim card.

    If Hillary was a decent candidate we would have a woman as President right now.

    At least the roads will be a lot safer.

    Edit: What about Bradley Manning? Is he in or out?

    We should air drop these on the march and measure the force of the blast from a safe distance.

    What are they marching against or for? I must admit most of them look like they could use the exercise!

    My wife won't be participating. My wife is making sandwiches as we speak. (Actually, burgers on the grill.) I love that woman.

    Meh. My wife and daughters arent the nagging type. Fortunatly they are women that act right.

    My pregnant daughter pulled 12 hours rebuilding a mill. My wife was in the office doing the books for 9 hours and my other daughter is still in the shop. Came home to porckchops and bourbon.

    Good girls.

    Only middle class and above white women (and a sprinkling of their brown 'pets') from uber liberal areas will actually do this. In other words, no one gives a sh!t.

    But in honour of the occasion, I'll go out of my way to be a 1950's hausfrau on the day.

    Man I hope my wife doesn't see this.

    If the women of The View joined then that would amount to a public service.

    I'll be the same guy that day as I am every other day. But I do kind of hope that the female millwright I have calls in on that day. She is half as profecient as the guys and is about to point out.
