Yeah awareness is definitely needed for some issues but violence against women doesn't seem like one of those issues. I'm pretty confident everyone is aware of it and no one is a fan except for the people doing it. I don't think those kinds of people will care about a strike. If anything I'm guessing a woman in an abusive relationship is more likely to experience violence by participating in this than not.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
