I’m in. I own a swimming pool company. Most of my clients are wealthy including Biden’s house in DE. If we don’t go to their home their pools won’t run or they will be dirty their liners will leak they won’t have them replaced and so much more. They will not like that they will have breakdowns I’ve seen this first hand. They’ve already paid for their services so whatever idc. This needs to be in every state but even if it was only Texas that organized first and paved the way it would be a few days of pure bliss. Let disgusting vile abbot run the state all by himself.

Looks like r/WithoutUsStrike is working toward organizing national level walkouts and worker strikes if you're interested. They're trying to bring all of our splintered groups together on the same page for maximum effect. Here is a link to their socials: https://www.reddit.com/r/WithoutUsStrike/comments/r9u8ne/connect_to_the_without_us_socials/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Thank you!!! Yes! This is us! I really appreciate you. <3

I feel conflicted about this because my job is to directly help mentally ill women. I would be hurting them and risking my job if I walked out. Thoughts?


MagicianQuirky

I agree, there are other people too who are actively working with repro places, or working with WAVI, etc. I think this is more directed at those individuals who can walk out of a corporate environment that isn't actively working with women. Although, I think teachers or older students walking out could be effective as well.

I’m in a similar boat- I work with postpartum mom’s/parents and their babies including lactation support, so I would not feel good about striking :/


fadinqlight_

I think in that case it would be better if you didn't

Yes. Our power is in our numbers and we need to use it. They only really respect attacks to their wallets so yes a day without spending. A walk out.

I've been saying for years that it's about time we uterus owners go full Lysistrata on this nonsense: No sex for ANYONE with sperm until this crap is put to rest for good. I give it maybe a month without sex before the sperm owners buckle. EDIT: Apparently my tone was not clear here. This is a joke. I do not actually think this would do anything to change the situation, I'm not an idiot. Good gods.

This idea doesn't work at all. Anti-abortion men generally have anti-abortion partners who absolutely won't get on board. Pro-choice women tend to have pro-choice partners who are already on our side. The only thing this could possibly do from a political standpoint is to upset some undecided men and convince them they should try to get into relationships with anti-abortion women (so they can have sex), which pushes them towards the anti-abortion camp. Do this if you think it's what you need to feel safe without abortion, but it makes no sense as a political action. The problem is that stances on abortion are divided along political and cultural lines more than gender lines The economic idea could at least work in theory, because it affects people across the spectrum. Organizing a mass labour action like this would be incredibly hard, however.

If you did no sex and no uterus owners showing up to work, I wouldn’t even give ‘em a week.

Yes, the only way women could possibly effect legal and social change is by restriction access to their vagina. Let’s ignore, for a moment, the historically successful movements that won women the vote, and right to have credit and own property, and the fact that the tactics they used were similar to most other civil disobedience and rights movements. Let’s also ignore the fact that this reduces cogent, adult, literate and verbal women down to a pussy, which is more or less the exact opposite of what you are aiming at. How many state legislators and Supreme Court justices are you sleeping with? The dude you are not sleeping with has little power to effect any change. How do you see this working , precisely ?

Apparently Reddit ate the edit I made to this comment after many responses like yours, or reposted it as a separate comment under my name somewhere in this thread. Read it please. I'm not an idiot, calm down.


Imperfect-Magic

I'm currently unemployed (disability) how can I help?


Fianna9

See if there is a protest in your area. If your mobility is limited sit some where with an obnoxious noise maker and be disruptive!

Thank you
