In this article, the author states that the starters of the women marches in Washington last month has set a date for a strike of women. It will be held on March 8, which is known as the International Day of Women and my birthday! There has been rumors about a strike but they finally set out a day yesterday. The women's purpose is to "outnumber the war of fear, greed and hatred" by showing love and compassion for their rights. On social media, it is said that this will not be the only strike. Women are trying to create over 100 strike actions all across America with the goal of "standing up for America's democratic principles".
In class, we continuously talk about issues that Americans have to face day by day and women's rights fall under those issues. These women simply want equal treatment that the men are given. Just like I said in my article over the marches, they do not want any violence. They want to be equal. With such attention from the news and social media, it is clear that this issue is one that needs to be resolved. If that means to have a day without women, then so be it.
I agree with this strike. As a woman, I believe that we should speak our voice and our worth through any way that we can. I think it is important to have a day without women because I believe that men take women for granted over their worth. This strike could hopefully impact the men to realize how much they need women in their life. And if it doesn't work, at least women put the effort in to make a change in the world. To me, that is most important.
