On International Women's Day, we show up
Conservative women show up. Why? Because we're fighters!
That's our response to "A Day Without A Woman" campaign by the organizers of the Women's March. They urged millions of American women to stay away from work today, withhold our spending power, and join #InternationalWomensDay protests and marches to prove our worth.
This is #NotMyProtest and #WeShowUp! We're joined today by Texas State Senator Konni Burton.
We want this quote carved in stone! If you didn't hear, today's unnecessary national strike is depriving kids of their school teachers (several schools are closed due to lack of staff).
"So, because a bunch of women don’t like Donald Trump, want to be free to have abortions, and want to get free birth control (the main doctrines of feminism), kids aren’t getting an education, families are having to spend money to take care of children who stay home, businesses are being hurt, relationships are being disrupted, and the damn laundry isn’t getting cleaned." ~ D.C. McAllister at PJMedia
Bailing out on co-workers and colleagues shows our value? I choose to value the privilege of having a job today! #weshowup #notmyprotest

Heather Burakowski has got it right: Do not engage in paid or unpaid work? How about go to work and excel? Improve your resume, build your career?
Wear red? Why not wear whatever you want because you're smart, you went to work and you have money to buy what you like?
They need me. Far more than I need feminism to get government to run my life. #WeShowUp #daywithoutawoman pic.twitter.com/ZWFRe2p1ml

I'm working because empty desks don't help families or rescue children from trafficking. #weshowup #adaywithoutwomen #abolitionist pic.twitter.com/dGGTK9rR0p

These five sisters all went to work. Sisterhood!
Spent 20 years flying for the Navy as a woman and I never felt the need to "not show up"to prove my worth. #weshowup #Notmyprotest

It's a myth that sitting out the day will show everyone how important we are. Nothing gets done when we check out.
What do you think?
