Here in Iceland all women in the country walked out of work today, at the same time, 14:38 or 2:38 pm, to protest gender inequality.

This was first done on the 24th of august 1975, so today was the 41st time.

No-one knows just how large a percentage walked out today, but pictures from the protests in smaller towns with hundreds or thousands of people there indicate that it was a high percentage of all women.

This year there was an emphasis on solidarity with Polish women as their rights are currently being undermined by the Polish government.

Does your country also partake in a general women's strike?

Why this exact time and date?

ignore the haters
social movements are always good
>>
>>66534133
The date is always the same because that was the date of the original strike in 1975 that had 95%+ or basically all women in Iceland leave work.

The women leave at 2:38pm now (14:38) because they only earn as much working 8:00-16:00 as men do working 8:00-14:38 because of the gender pay gap.

The time is always getting later because the gap is always getting smaller, but yeah, that's the logic behind it.

Well, my uni just has a general vacation day today because of this, (they say it's because of the birthday of the Norse explorer that discovered the town but I don't think his birthday is actually known, it's just an excuse to have a general vacation day today)

As for myself, I decided to make the most of my vacation day by perusing memes all by myself in a dark room all day.

so it's a family issue then?

Is it something real, like gender pay law, or it's another feminists' bullshit?
>>
>>66534574
So west is setting a new standard in which man are not allowed to earn more than woman on average.
I hope you like this kind of socialism.

Women getting higher wages won't lower men's wages. If my wages don't go down, why should I look at this negatively?

Because my bourgie capitalist pig boss is such a nice guy? Get fucked, Pawel.

There's no gender pay law, they're just protesting the pay gap in general, the math is kind of sketchy, yes.
>>
>>66535364
Woman working more hours or taking harder jobs won't lower average mans wage. And woman's average wages increasing naturally aren't my concern. But things like quotas are.
>Because my bourgie capitalist pig boss is such a nice guy?
I don't understand how is that connected to what you just said.

But it will increase the production costs, meaning that you will have to pay more for the same goods. There is no escape somebody will have to provide moneyz and it will be you.

Then google what production cost means. Those are rally the basics,
>>
>>66536670

>>
They do this every year?
>>
>>66536010
usually for their profession you either sell goods produced by you or "sell a service" of anykind.
if a big portion of these workers now earn more money and the company/boss does not want to go bankrupt and still get his big time money, then the cost for said "service" or product has to rise. these costs are prices paid by the customer.
so a increase in workers wage also means a increase in the price of the product. usually it is the product price to rice first but there are always exeptions

>>66536597
It's basically a solidarity march more focused on women in shitholes, like balkans and east europe. Do you know what a solidarity march is?

True, just like saying condolences when someone tells you they've lost a loved one. You probably still do it even if you don't really care
>>
If women get lower wages why wouldn't I only hire women to keep my costs down? This gender pay gap shit is retarded
>>
>>66536870
I get that, but it seems silly in practicality. You can't control other countries.

It would be better for the women to do some country wide charity programs instead that raise money to help women in shit hole countries.

Canada has a nationwide thing called "The Terry Fox Run" where people raise money for cancer research and awareness. If it was just people running around and not getting money to accomplish something it would be stupid.
>>
>>66537254
Because you think they are worth less. That a woman with 2 years of experience is worth a man with the same education without work experience for example and won't manage to keep your business running as well.

Use your brain it's not really a paradox.

me mum and dad used to work the same job

there is no such thing as gender pay gap, go complain about a real issue, faggots
>>

But these social justice matches rather resemble condolences you receive when your cat got diarrhea, or maybe don't, they don't know exactly.
>>
>>66537608
Marches of course.

>>66537364
I don't think they are worth less

What kind of gender inequality is there in Iceland?

Seriously
>>
>>66537969
I guess the usual paygap which is common in most western countries besides maybe male dominated leading counsils in most companies.

That the motherrole makes a woman a bit less ready for long term carriere and that the dominance in the leading counsils will solve itself as there are more women graduating much better from our higher schools then men gets ignored for PC reasons I guess.
>>
>>66533895
>Gender pay gap
I really like this meme
>>
>>66533895
So why aren't they all fired for being AWOL the next day?
>>
>>66538047
But that isn't inequality. It's just natural order of things, don't you think?
>>
>>66538047
>>66537969
THERE IS NO FUCKING GENDER PAY GAP

Jesus fucking christ, stop spreading this meme, the woman who invented it confessed she made it up a while ago
>>
>>66537608
Misplaced solidarity is still solidarity. It's not an issue I care about so I don't know why they do it other than apparent tradition
>>
>>66538165
Not really.

It also helps create the problem of low birth rate. Have children, risk garbage job opportunities because companies don't want to deal with maternity leave.

Having children costs money, so you need a good job and both parents must work to afford kids these days. There's a lot of problems and mothers get screwed in companies for it. Even at the company I work a female boss complains about too many of her female staff having children since maternity leaves means she has to make an effort to find someone to temporarily fill the gap. The government even tweaked some laws so new hires can only take short maternity leaves to fuck over mothers but help companies.

This convinced me that Iceland deserves to be wiped out.

A woman at work was complaining that she gets paid less than me. Then I pointed out she is only in 28 hours a week while I am in 48 hours.

The least in the world, but we are also the most feminist country. That's why they don't ever stop.

>>
>>66539010
Nope, although I disagree with some of the more bullshit feminist rhetoric I hear around here, I also disagree with most of the "traditionalist" alt-right shitlords that you see here on 4chan and elsewhere.

These guys actually looked at the "free the nipple" thing where girls were trying to make women being topless normal by being topless en masse in public as a negative thing.

Faglords.


>>66539173
Iceland is not part of Scandinavia, Scandinavia is just the dick shaped peninsula.

>>66539100
I will
>>
>>66538813
I wonder if the lower wages have anything to do with the fact that women are just walking out during working hours
>>
>>66539845
Nah, it's just this one day.

>These guys actually looked at the "free the nipple" thing where girls were trying to make women being topless normal by being topless en masse in public as a negative thing.

It's not so funny anymore when it's your sister, your daughter, your mum and your wife.

But of course you'd never think more than one step ahead do you.

Everybody on the island is related anyway so they're probably used to it

Are they protesting for big black dick ?

Did they go on strike when 1000 women were sexually assaulted by muslims in Cologne ?
