Seeing as how it's still Father's Day where I am, I figured I would go ahead and write this. I think that it just needs to be said to remind everyone.
Pups, everyone has a father. They may not be in our lives due to different circumstances, or they may actively be in our lives. But whatever your views are you have to give them credit, they did help create you! Without his 23 chromosomes you would not be here today, and that's quite a pity if you ask me.
Most of you who are spreading the #EndFathersDay tag around like wildfire probably don't realize what you're saying. Now usually I wouldn't assume anything about someone's life, but for the sole purpose of getting my point across I'm going to assume you have a decent father.
Your father probably puts a lot of work into ensuring that you're living the best life you can. He has put years of hard work into raising you, years he is never going to get back. But that's okay, in his mind he didn't waste those years. Those years were probably the best time of his life. Personally, without my own step-father I would be no where in life. I would not even be typing this today.
Father's Day does not promote the patriarchy, nor rape culture, or anything. The people who started this whole #EndFathersDay tag were trolls from 4chan, and really did you think they were real with how absurd they were? Father's Day promotes realizing how much your father does for you. And not to mention that there is an equivalent called Mother's Day? You know, that's a thing.
Now of course this doesn't apply to you if you don't have a good relationship with your dad. For whatever reason you have for not being close to him, it's understandable if you dislike the holiday. And let me remind you, my dears, that if this is your situation, you do not owe him anything. Do not feel obliged to do anything, and do not let anyone tell you otherwise.
With what I needed to say now said, I must draw to a close. Until next time, pups!
