Unequal pay sure, but how the hell is a strike supposed to stop violence against women? That's not an economic concept that can be impacted by withholding labor. It's a fine goal I just don't see how a strike helps it get accomplished.

It brings attention to the issue. Not everything is intended to have a direct impact on problems.

If even PM herself can't do shit, then nobody will do shit.
