“A Day without Women”, however, – a protest to spotlight the “economic injustices” against women – does not follow suit. Feminists on the left increasingly act as if women don’t have choices; and too often they (re)fashion women as objects rather than agents. But in contrast to the great marches of the past, A Day Without Women is protesting against something that simply isn’t true – that the overwhelming majority of men simply don’t value women in society. That boys and men need to be reminded of what their world would look like without us. The real tragedy of “A Day Without Women” is what it teaches boys and men.
