Obviously, men are excluded from the March 8th protest “A Day Without A Woman,” in which women across America are going to stay home from work to protest perceived unfairness in the treatment of the sexes. According to statement from organizers: “We ask: do businesses support our communities, or do they drain our communities? Do they strive for gender equity or do they support the policies and leaders that perpetuate oppressions.”
So how should you spend 24 hours March 8 if you're a man? Below, a guide.
MORNING
6 a.m.—Arise. Spend extra time in the bathroom showering and shaving. Play with the dog. Give him an extra biscuit.
6:30—Rub one out with the 1994 copy of Playboy you usually keep hidden in the back of the closet.
7:00—Fruit Loops for breakfast.
7:30—Arrive at work 30 minutes early, due to light traffic.
8:00—Spend 55 minutes with some bros in the office, talking football, Andrew Dice Clay, Milo Yiannopoulis, and who the hottest female football commentator is. Play “Who Would You Do” with the ladies from The View.
8:55—Scratch yourself.
9:00-12 p.m.—Work uninterrupted by the usual 10:30 phone call from your mother-in-law.
