Would it kill some of you people out there to wish someone a “Happy Fathers Day”?<\/p>\n

In their blog comments? In a post? In an E-Card<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Just once?<\/p>\n

I already learned my lesson in the blogopshere, but it still pisses me off. Every May there’s a huge outpouring of love for Mother’s Day. Hell, I dedicated whole weekends with tributes to my friends who are single moms because I know there wont be a guy there to make their day and it’ll just be their little ones saying it to them.<\/p>\n

But Father’s Day? It’s like a fucking ghost town on the web.<\/p>\n

I wont speak for any other dads on the web… but it hurts me like hell.<\/p>\n

And the few female bloggers that are online will simply write about *THEIR* fathers, *THEIR* husbands… or more often than not, the asshole sperm donor that walked out on them and his children, and every male reader of theirs will pay dearly for it.<\/p>\n

It’s not totally their fault that that they’re self-absorbed and thoughtless. It’s largely the difference between female and male bloggers. Females write introspective (“How does this relate to me”), and guys write from a broader extrovert view (“This is what happened, and this is what it means”).<\/p>\n

Tomorrow it will be more of the same. Women will think of only themselves, and men will not say a word until it’s said to them first. So why bother checking my email or looking at comments? People suck.<\/p>\n

So to all my bros out there: HAPPY FATHERS DAY<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

To everyone else, thanks for nothing as usual. If someone has to ask you, then your words are meaningless. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
