Happy International Women's Day!

March 8th is International Women's Day.  In the United States, it's an opportunity for women to bring attention to the problems we face and the triumphs we have enjoyed.  In dozens of other countries, it is celebrated as a full holiday; in others, in others, only women get the day off.  In some places men give the women in their lives flowers and chocolates to honor them and their work

In most cases, International Women's Day is a "day off" for women.  They have the day off work, and the men in their lives take over whatever cooking, cleaning, and childcare the women usually do.  It's an vivid lesson in the sheer amount of labor that women undertake -- and the sheer amount of work that simply wouldn't get done if women didn't do it.  According to the UN, women do two thirds of the world's work.  What if we went on strike?
