Commercials about Father’s Day are filled with tools to remind them of their responsibilities. While presents given on Mother’s Day are designed to celebrate their existence.

That is true but men are generally more gratified by tools than by feminine self-indulgence products and services. The sort of self-indulgence products and services men are gratified by are generally stigmatized.

<shrug> We can change that.

I posted a cple weeks ago..

I once mentioned that all I ever get is tools or hardware store vouchers. She laughed. I gave her a mop on mothers day. She didn't laugh... but I did...

I no longer get tools despite what the advertising says...

A tie to remind you to go to work, a power tool set to fix and build stuff. VS Flowers, jewelry, chocolate, spa certificates

It might sound petty but Morning, noon and night the message is the same. Your life is as not as valuable Keep wondering why so many men have checked out.

It really is, I got an ad for some flower delivery service that was basically 'raising you wasn't easy, I deserve something' (they literally said that) or of course the expensive shiny jewelry to show them they mean something. Most I get for men is 'hey there's a sale down at menards', no joke. Cause I guess men are supposed to enjoy that I dunno I definitely don't, it's why I never took shop class. Guess I'm completely boned out of any father's day gifts in the future huh, ah well

Tools?

I'd like a huge Lego set please. Because unlike at the office (or home repairs), when I follow the Lego instructions . . . everything works.

If I would buy a vacuum cleaner for mothers day I would be so dead.

This is actually such a good point i never even thought of 👀👀👀👀👀👀📸📸📸📸📸!!!!!!!!

Gender stereotypes. Mom does all the cooking, cleaning and kiddo stuff while Dad goes to work and cleans out the yard. This shit is getting old now.

Nah don’t worry I still got her oven mitts and snarky dishcloths for Mother’s Day. She’s still pissed about it. Let’s see what I get in return

On the other hand, I have heard feminists criticize the gifts they receive compared to men using the exact same observation.

'Men are celebrated as instruments, women are celebrated as ornaments'.

My tools always save my ass, from massive repair Bill's. It's my ticket to freedom and financially being able to save, invest and flourish.

I only use my tools for myself.

I would prefer if you included some examples with your statement.

Guys, we're men, it's fine, let's just tank it and move on.
