What would happen if all the women were to disappear from a town, leaving the men to not only work, but also take care of the family and the home?
"It will be a disaster, a complete disaster," said Kelly Weatherly, who was sent off for a week at a resort, along with almost all the women in her community of 760, leaving the town and its children in the hands of the men.
The exodus was part of a social experiment filmed for Canada's national broadcaster, the CBC. Touted as an exploration of gender issues in contemporary Canadian culture, "The Week the Women Went" is based on a BBC program by the same name.
Recent government statistics show that 70 percent of Canadian households are run by women. The majority of these women also hold full-time jobs.

I'll leave it to the CBC to find the biggest deadbeats to feed the 'men bad' meme.
