Father's Day: a celebration of discrimination?(satire)

Several special interest groups have come together to protest Father's Day as a day of discrimination, as it allegedly stacks the deck against those women who are unable to become fathers, as well against those men who have chosen not to.

"It's like an annual poke in the eye," said one concerned citizen, who did not wish to be self-identified as a member of any particular orientation nor gender. "As Michelle Obama recently said, the time has come to reconsider our traditions and reexamine our historical perspectives in order to accommodate this new generation who may not wish to glorify the barbaric practice known to previous generations as fatherhood."

This latest protest raises some serious questions about how our well-intended celebration of certain members of society based on their familial relationships may be extremely offensive, or even openly aggressive towards some others. Some may argue that Mother's Day stands on the same level as it obviously discriminates against men, most of whom can't become mothers. But according to the protesters, that is a false argument because women have been the victims of male oppression since the beginning of time, and today many of them feel that reparations are long overdue.

"We have progressed beyond the traditional understanding of gender and parental roles in the modern family," said the leader of Radical Feminists of America, a prominent LGBT rights group who goes by the name of Big Red. "Society is going through some growing pains right now, and we will have to change our perspective so that we do not exclude anyone based on their capacity to become fathers."

"Another class of offended victims, known as 'the fatherless,' have also expressed disdain for the celebration of fathers. The fatherless feel extremely hurt and offended that others are able to take part in a holiday that they have been excluded from. Father's Day only serves as a reminder to them of the wanton manner in which their own fathers cast them aside. "Why would anyone want to celebrate this group of men, some of whom have caused so much heartache to their own children?" asked one fatherless victim."

This is satire but it seems very close to reality

As a non-father I consider Fathers Day to be a microagression.

(I kid.)

Why not just celebrate 'Person Day'? That way no one should be offended unless the animals complain in which case we would have to change it to 'Living Creature Day'!

But then some democrat voters might complain so we would have to drop the word 'Living' from the celebratory designation!!!!!

Well then what happens on Mother’s Day?

I'm not extremely into Father's Day, but that's just BS. Nothing stopping them from having Addadictomy Day if they want. If every special day has to include everyone, then they're meaningless.

I wish I could tell you but I have no idea.
It's rather difficult to say when the inmates are running the asylum.

Father’s Day is a sop to men for the earlier formed Mother’s Day, which was a gimmick by the greeting card industry to boost sales of cards.

[SkyDancer]

Yep. I think Hallmark cards started that.

If there is one lesson American voters/taxpayers can learn from Obama’s tenure, it is that the future belongs to those that will bother to breed. Those that don’t can state their case at the ballot box, then fade away (and their beliefs die with them).
