Did you know that on Mother’s Day, more phone calls are made than on any other holiday, more than on Christmas Day and far more than on Father’s Day. Father’s Day, in contrast, is the day on which we make the largest number of collect calls. If we love Mom and Dad equally then why do we buy and send half again as many Mother’s Day cards as Father’s Day cards?
Some campaign to have Father's Day abolished entirely.
Much of feminism has been a demand to respect women. Society knows full well that women are respected second best, but society has yet to come to grips with men being loved second best. I suspect that being loved second-best is SO painful, society in general and men in particular have felt the need to escape full cognizance of it through denial.
As we slide into being the new "fatherless society," let's spare a thought for Dad. Let's love our Dads.
