Three "reasons" for abolishing Father's Day.

The same can be said about mothers day . Do they ask for that? Nope.

This is just to cut men out

1. Because dads need more time, not less, looking after their children

How does the existence of father's day give dad less time for his children?

2. Because it's an excuse for tokenism

The second reason we should consign Father's Day to history is that it allows everyone from retailers, the media and family service providers to ignore dads for 364 days of the year and then feel like they've 'ticked the dad box' by noting fathers' existence on a single day in June.

So abolish father's day and dads get ignored for 365 days of the year, that's a big improvement, right?

3. Because it's a waste of money

Really? Buying a gift for dad is a waste of money?

The Fatherhood Institute works with government, policymakers, employers and family services, to create a society that supports involved fatherhood.

Coulda fooled me.

I've just deleted the previous version because it linked to HuffPost.

Former Comments:

I'm surprised at how much they actually tried seem reasonable. They used real information and then twisted it to fit their agenda. Honestly, that was kind of entertaining to read. (/u/Uhh_Political).

hotlinking HuffPo?... please not (/u/Cristi_Tanase)
