I know of nobody who will take part, and I have a large circle of friends on Facebook, most of them women. Nobody has even mentioned it so far, and they definitely talked a lot about the Women's March the day after the Inauguration.

I'm afraid this may not be as dramatic a statement as it might have been.

The best response was how about we have a give women a raise day. This came from a woman currently applying to be a junior CIO for another woman.
