The Twitter hashtag #EndFathersDay started out as a hoax, but feminists quickly picked it up and ran with it, according to the Washington Examiner.
To some angry feminists, Father’s Day is a celebration of patriarchy and oppression, and men shouldn’t even be allowed near children. And if you don’t agree with them, you are the problem.
Instead of Fathers Day we need Castration Day #EndFathersDay

Thank you for making #EndFathersDay #1 trend worldwide. We’re bringing light to an important issue. #patriarchy #feminism — Sarah All Inclusive (@InclusiveSarah) June 13, 2014
The amount of women actually defending this misogynistic holiday is disgusting #Internalizedsexism #MalePrivilege #EndFathersDay — Phoebe Kwon (@PhoebeKwon) June 13, 2014
#EndFathersDay bc it’s literally worshiping the patriarchy. If ur not behind this, #YouAreTheProblem — NayNay Thompson (@NayNayCantStop) June 13, 2014
It even inspired some people to want to end Mother’s Day, too.
I say we make Guardians Day and Diversity Day to replace Mother’s and Father’s Day..whose with me? #EndMothersDay #EndFathersDay — Bonnie (@neveragain842) June 13, 2014

#endfathersday and mothers day. And all days. Kill everyone. The human race is garbage and we are destroying the earth. — Lush (@Detriots) June 13, 2014
But then some people turned around and attacked the hashtag.
The girls tweeting #EndFathersDay are doing it from the fancy phone or tablet that their father probably bought for them. Shame. — Helm (@NightmareOnHelm) June 13, 2014
#EndFathersDay: Because appreciating & loving your father is rape culture. #FeministLogic #Misandry #WarAgainstMen pic.twitter.com/wkbr8LoT9U

Fortunately, there are still some sane people, and some great fathers.
Maybe I should ignore my kids today instead of taking care of them #EndFathersDay pic.twitter.com/rm5aCHegeJ

#EndFathersDay sounds like a terrible joke gone wrong. Men and women should be equal. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day co-exist. IT’S GOOD.

#EndFathersDay? What a wonderful example for women to give their children, particularly their sons.
