how stupid are these people ?
lol….too funny
When is the mens day off?
Iceland the worst place to be a woman. Saudi arabia, iran amd 50+ muslim countries laughing in the corner 😏😂
If women go on strike for 3 months, we’ll struggle for the 1st but after the 2nd 90% of them will be already replaced. If men go on strike for 3 months the whole world collapse after 1 week 🥱
Now the men can do it.
Their country would collapse in less than an hour 🤣
Total societal collapse.
Equal pay for equal work. Quite simple, although many people commenting here, likely men, seem to be personally insulted by this strike. Equal pay for equal work.
That’s the thing women don’t do equal work; they aren’t built for it. In a job that requires lifting for example the men are doing more of the work with women getting the same pay; me. Should get paid more because they almost always do way more.
@Contrarian Not all jobs require heavy lifting, sweetheart. Not so smooth Mr. Smoovemove. Your comment only proves there is little respect for women or value of their work. Don’t be so sensitive!
@Gracie Galway women wokr less hours than men but want the same money . typical modern wmen , privileges of a man accountability of a child
@Gracie Galway most jobs require lifting; the service/retail industry is the largest and when the supplies are delivered they need to be arranged. I used to work an overnight job at the gap and the women always stayed in to arrange the clothes while the men loaded the boxes off the truck despite the job description stating that you have to be able to life 40lbs or more. Women never work equally as men and therefore should be paid less. Talk to me about it equally when girls are required to sign up for selective service like boys. This is all entitlement nonsense.
It claims to be a gender equality strike, and yet the discussion as usual is totally one sided.
Their lives are so hard😂
❤❤❤❤❤
Mens Day off
This is sooooo important right now with the state of the world . 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Clare Daly for PM! She is the only politician that makes any sense or holds any grasp of reality
“Non binary?”
Oh my god, the gender ideology is spreading to different countries. You’re a man or woman! Not niether or none!
I’m so proud of the woman of Iceland. I watched a documentary about Womans Day Off. Very Brave, Smart & Creative.
So doing what they always do? Take numerous days off and then complain about less pay?😂
They’re just lazy women and always complain
Wouldn’t make a difference. Now imagine if men had a day off, the whole country would collapse in minutes.
Did they protest gender gaps where men are doing worse, such as health, education, suicide rates, etc?
Gender inequity should address both genders.
They don’t want equality.
A whole lot of very sensitive men spouting their hate. Sad really. Must be so insecure they have to put women down. As many of them have done throughout the ages. The world is mess. The world has been led by men. Time for a change. Women couldn’t do any worse. Okay, so now bring on all the hate. People like Contrarian, whose name says it all, will have to spout off. Don’t waste your time. In advance, if you want me to say you’re right – you’re right guys. I would rather be wrong the crush your egos.
No, it’s not ego princess… it’s pure truth! You stay home with your delusional sense of entitlement, lazy, gossipy, conniving nature and leave us with peace, focus and prosperity.
says the sensitive whamen crying for hate against men.
Ok Men, it’s time to take a day off too. All men. First responders, machanics, construction workers, truck drivers, pilots, etc…
Good, stay home!
A man who decides to take a day off from being a father and husband is known as a deadbeat.
A Female Prime Minister fighting for equal pay is the most bizarre and ludicrous thing I’ve ever heard. Thank god it’s a piddly little island in the middle of nowhere.
