Personally, I’m looking forward to staying home. Except my wife will be there. ☹ Maybe I’ll go to the office, but won’t answer the phone. 🙂 ---

March 8 is a Day Without a Woman. The debate is whether or not this is a good idea. ---

I think the European members of this board will have a different view. I’m personally handing out coffee cards to women at work and sending the wife flowers at work ---

I would normally move this to a more appropriate forum since it’s clearly not a debate, but it’s incorrect on the premise so MPSIMS seems right out. It’s been locked in GQ. It doesn’t even seem properly ranty enough for the Pit. In the future please flesh out your OP more to give a modicum of insight into what you are hoping to discuss. So far as I can tell, it’s a toss up between trying to co-opt a different movement, a dig against women, a dig against your wife, or your employer. In any event, just no. [/moderating]
