Should Father's Day be banned?
 
Some people out there think it should.

Yes, it should be banned because all dads are sexist pigs who need to check their institutional privelige.

And once this is done, we need to castrate all men as that will permanently stop them from putting women in the oppressive and patriarchial state of pregnancy.

Coola Yagami 06-24-2020 01:15 AM

Wow... another example of 'just **** men over'.

I swear it seems the world hates men more and more as time passes. We are literally only good for what we can provide to society anymore, who cares if we're also people with feelings right?

DarkFell 06-24-2020 01:17 AM

Some people just don't have a Dad to call their own. If they had a Dad, then none of the upset would be a thing.

Most Dads are pretty cool. Therefore, they're entitled to have a day to enjoy.

Sumac 06-24-2020 04:09 AM

Some people had ****** dads and has become a lot like them as a result - hateful and stupid.
Its sad and ironic.

Have they ever heard of Mother's Day?

Mayhem 06-24-2020 04:47 AM

Only if they get rid of Mother's Day.

Voltron 06-24-2020 05:08 AM

Some people think that we should all drink poison in order to join our alien saviors traveling in a UFO behind the comet Hale-Bopp.

Why the hell are we even talking about this? No one in their right mind would take this seriously.

Voltron 06-24-2020 05:38 AM

And they aren't in their right mind. Fringe lunatics thrive on attention, and they deliberately try to get under your skin to get their fix. Don't give them the satisfaction.

I wonder how many other bat-**** ideas have been floated that have been given WAY more airtime than needed?

Whatswiththeheadbands? 06-24-2020 06:07 AM

Yeah, and you know what? Let's get rid of Mother's Day too, since it's offensive to Fathers.

And let's not stop there. Let's ban birthday celebrations as well. It's offensive to people who are no longer alive.

And name days too. It offends everyone whose name isn't in the calendar.

Like no-one took seriously idiots who said that people should start banning things, because, of PRESUMED offense and destroy statues, because, they don't know history, yet here we are: companies are banning and censoring things and crowds of retards are destroying statues.

The line between "fine mind" and not, is thin. When critical mass of idiots reaches certain point, idiots start rule the world. So I'd be very careful with dismissing them as powerless fringe lunatics. Especially nowadays.

Those people deserve pushback and ridicule so no-one would listen to them ever again. And this is why highlighting this idiocy is a good thing.

Yeah, these articles are not worth wasting your time or getting everyone riled up about it, IMO, but whatever floats your boat.

IMJ 06-24-2020 12:08 PM

Then, by the logic of the fool "feminist" depicted in the article, Mother's Day is also "offensive" to single fathers as well as gay men who are parents, and should also be banned.

CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy 06-24-2020 12:25 PM

I'm fine with banning both Mothers and Fathers Day. Shut Hallmark down. Birthdays and anniversaries are what matter.

What people? Can you link articles that aren't more than two years old and from reputable sites? Can you show tweets from people who are in support of this with more than a couple of retweets and likes?

IndigoErth 06-24-2020 01:28 PM

There's always going to be people who think crappy things. Though I'm not sure why we need to discuss them all.

Absolutely. It's the trifecta of "buy cards and don't forget this arbitrary day, or you're a terrible person!" holidays.

That's my job you're talkin' smack about there, buddy, bring it. lol





Although I can assure that most people are totally into celebrating Father's Day, because my cards sold pretty well this year, esp at two of my stores. All the dad gift bags wiped out, too. Feet still hurt, but saved me a little effort on the post-holiday change over.

:tlol: Then in that case, I'll settle for shutting down Hallmark's Valentine/Mother/Father cards, and leave them the birthday/anniversary/it's a boy/girl/graduation cards. Fair enough? :trazz:

Did Andrew go though a divorce? He seems to be hard into MGTOW.

lol Hmm... I suppose that would make the work easier and less frustrating with no more back breaking post-holiday changes...though on the down side that would also mean less paycheck.



Eh, they're a pretty decent company though. Far better than my last one. After having the greedy bastards at the top of my prior employer, I was rather surprised when the owner of Hallmark voluntarily took a pay cut due to the shut downs while at the same time giving us workers added pandemic pay (ending after next week).

I mean, no one has to buy cards and whatnot, but plenty of people still like to. Even if I myself tend to stick to the ones I stock at Dollar Tree.

Nothing to do with his personal life, Andrew makes joke threads all the time.

Always with a MGTOW theme, apparently. But by all means, white knight for him.

MGTOW? What's that?

Save me the Urban Dictionary search? :tlol:

Google also exists. You could have found out in quicker time than it took to write that reply to this thread.

Yep, I sure could have.

But on the off chance that I stumble across $hit my work machine won't like, this way, I gain superior knowledge AND no "site blocked due to workplace blah blah blah."

A miracle, yes? Such strategy.

But THANK YOU, Cure, for looking out for me. I can always count on you, dear brother.

Basically red pilled guys who are anti feminism and anti women. Very incel-esque who advocate removing men away from an increasingly female dominated society.

But seriously, dude, I'm not taking you home. You and me, together, it's never gonna happen. Sorry to do that to you.

But you can remember this time we shared, and beat off to it in the shower. No judgment.

Zero funny, and homophobic.

Should Father's day be banned? Obviously not, that is dumb proposition.

The argument sound in that article, that it would be offensive single mothers, is silly. If that was valid, then wouldn't Mother's day in turn be offensive to single fathers?

IndigoErth 06-24-2020 05:54 PM

Didn't look at it, but if that is its argument, that it's offensive to single parents, yeah, that's pretty stupid. There is no point having an issue against one when the other exists for moms.

Come on, Father's Day (and likewise for Mother's Day) isn't even only about fathers... it's also about grandfathers, uncles, and any of the men in a person's life who may fill that roll, so even if someones own father isn't in the picture for whatever reason, chances are that there are other valued men in their life and is why "like a father" cards exist along with many general cards, not only the dad ones.

Leo656 06-24-2020 06:00 PM

My wife always wishes me Happy Father's Day because we're "parents" to our puppy dog. That's cute. :)

22 years ago-ish, the girl whose abortion I paid for used to also wish me a Happy Father's Day, because she had a dark sense of humor. That was.... a lot less cute. :ohwell:
