@rysiek then again the Icelandic women didn't do this the first time in not-so-long-ago history...

@rysiek a true gender equity strike should include areas where men are doing worse, such as health, education, suicide, homelessness, etc.

@rysiek That's beautiful to see!

I hope they get what they want. God knows the US women's march did fuck all.

rysiek, 7 months ago

@grumble209 this wasn't a "march". This was a whole-day strike, that included paid and unpaid work. Just like the one in 1975:

Marches do fuck-all. You want effects, go on actual strike.

@rysiek so strange that the entire population of a country can be smaller than the small city I live in.

So half the women in the country showed up. That's phenomenal.

@PKYo there was quite a lot of men as well. Either way, it's wonderful.

@rysiek @PKYo When the UN launched the #HeForShe campaign to involve more men in the fight for women's rights, Iceland's men were the top signees, relative to population size, by a big margin. https://senereko.hypotheses.org/58

@PKYo @rysiek some percentage of the ones that didn’t are children, so honestly I would guess more than half the women. The entire city’s population is ~118k; the turnout is amazing.

@rysiek how they piss off over half the population?

rysiek, 7 months ago

@LordKonnen patriarchy. Same shit as everywhere else.

@rysiek can the disparities be bridged? Everywhere, women are getting pissed. What can we actually do?

rysiek, 7 months ago

@LordKonnen we can start listening to women.
