Father's Day Paradox

It's kind of interesting in the era of equal rights and supposed absence of double standards in terms of men vs women roles and societal norms in certain societies that today, Father's Day is a hardly a blip on the map of marketing for this "holiday". Flip the script and Mother's Day gets all the pub....as it should, since the mother is who delivers the child into this world, but as the highly overused saying goes, "It takes two to tango" and without the "help" of a father or at least a trip to THE BANK" human life does not spontaneously occur. As a newly crowned father, I take no offense to Mother's Day getting much more of the deserved fanfare. It's 100% fine with me, but I know there are guys out there who like to play the "equal rights" card for something as silly as a day on the calendar that makes them feel good about themselves when their child gets them a wack tie or some other trinket. I did fine today, but I don't need a day to remind me of how a father needs to be. Everyday is Father's Day for those who take it seriously.
