Father's day a scam?

Little more and little less than Mother's day or Valentine's day, as the article noted, but note the publication date for this article.

It wasn't published prior to Mother's day or Valentine's day, but on June 14, the day before Father's day this year.

This is the real scam.

Making each ritual occur on a given day makes it easier to enforce and plan for the production cycle.

Actually, I think the strongest motivation for doing it this way is that it maximizes peer pressure.

As for commemorative days scamming men, Valentine's Day is a much bigger scam than Father's Day.
