#EndFathersDay (Feminism Rant I Suppose) - Comments

Oh my gosh, my Dad has been the bestest sweetest supporter of my feminism. F*ck this hashtag, they've crossed the line.

WOW. People are stupid. There are plenty of amazing fathers out there, and plenty of subpar and downright horrible mothers. "Fathers shouldn't get credit for mother's work?" What if it's a fucking single dad and he does all the "mother's work" and all the father's work? What the fuck does that even mean! Being a loving parent is parent work, not mother's or father's specifically. All men will commit sexual abuse if they're around a child? I CALL BULLSHIT. What in the hell is wrong with people? This kind of stuff is why I don't really refer to myself as a "feminist." There are certain ideals that I agree with, but I feel like a lot of people have corrupted what feminism is supposed to stand for, (the tweets you shared are a prime example) which is really unfortunate. I am flabbergasted that people would think this way.

Thaaaat's... that's kinda... yeah. I don't agree. Some dads are perfect, others aren't. You can't expect for every single male in the world to be an outstanding citizen/father/role model. And I agree with what you said. If we ended fathers day, we'd need to end mothers day because there is no way that every single mother is perfect.

I read something that really stuck with me a few weeks ago about feminists. I don't recall what they said word for word, but it was something along the lines of, "Feminists don't necessarily want equality. If they wanted equality they'd be called Equalists." I thought that was really true.

That's sickening. My father has never been anything but supportive and kind and endlessly loving to my entire family and it makes me so mad to see that people don't think people like him deserve reciprocation just because he is a man.

I'm surprised they didnt put

#endfathersday because its the only day they come around trying to play dad role.

But I agree with you, if they end fathers day; end mothers day as well.

People tend to forget!
Once you have a child you are a mother or father for the rest of your life, every single day. So why does it have to be celebrated on one day? Because the people want money, so people can spend money. In a way it does bring people together but in a sense it is to make money. That is all people truly care about in society now a days, Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying everyone is like that. But people with businesses. People who have loads of money they would rather spend on candy or food and crap, rather then donating it to a charity.

Mothers/ fathers day is just like any other holiday if you think about it.

I am a mother, every day. I celebrate mothers day everyday because I am with my child every day- even though he drives me nuts.

hahah Okay that's all.

that's basically like taking what the Westboro Baptist church says and a) calling that Christianity and b) taking what they say seriously except with feminism

This makes me so angry and the fact that anybody actually believes this is ridiculous. 100% of child abuse comes from men? I was emotionally and verbally abused by my mother for years. It's triggering for women who've been abused? Exactly how I feel on mother's day. It's horrible that people would even create this for a joke but I can't believe people are actually going along with it. That isn't feminism - even if that's what they're calling it. Feminism isn't about women's superiority over men, it's about equality, and so in that acknowledging that women can be just as good and bad as men. The whole "#endfathersday? then we #endmothersday too." was spot on, basically. It's this sort of stuff that gives real feminists a bad name.

Sorry, I got quite rant-y there x)
