But what about Mothers Day?

Only thing I disagree with was when he started to use the LGBT handle as if gay people can't have children. I once knew two guys who eventually got married and had two kids, which actually involved an arrangement with one of their ex-wives through sperm donation and the pair of them were given parental rights.
So yeah abolishing father's day to call it something else is clearly this insane bitches man hating narrative, but children can have gay parents too.

How much of Pr126's videos are actors, playing out a script provided by the Right wing? Do Leftists actually behave this badly? Are both sides just puppets of MI6?

he's right, this is sexist. Your not going to have this fake 'doctor' drag queen commit to renaming mothers day 'special persons day', just the one related to men.
I didn't have a great relationship with my dad, he wasn't much of a father, but even I know this is complete bullshit, since I had a amazing grandfather who taught me the value of strong male role models.
OK, but only if they rename Mother's Day ... Bitch Day (not really).
My dad is an abusive, narcissistic megalomaniac that is scamming state welfare and I hate his fucking guts, so even though this video is complete bullshit and littered with what I am betting is completely false information (as per usual for his posts), I almost wish it was true.
Whether or not people *want* to rename anything, it is completely besides the fact of whether or not it will actually happen... or even has a chance at happening. The fact that you put so much weight in to what whiny babies *want* and whine about only shows how much of a whiny baby you are.
Fathers/Mothers day...c'mon...its a fucking gambit to make money. Along with every other holiday. Recognize it, pound away at it and maybe we will stop the insane stupidity of it.

Sorry, but just because your dad's like that, doesn't mean other people who celebrate their fathers as the role they play in people's lives shouldn't be undermined by a few people's bitterness.
As I've said, my father was an alcoholic, verbally abusive, neglectful old bastard who even sneered at his own grandchildren when around them, and I hated him. But it didn't corrupt my view of fatherhood to the point of thinking anyone else being able to celebrate it should be scrapped.
What about someone who was abused by their mothers, should mothers day be scrapped because of it hurting their feelings?

Do you notice how much you cherry pick from other people's posts as much as the rest of us noitice?
I said I ALMOST wish it was true. And I also made a point of saying that even if this was true and they did *want* it to happen, doesn't mean it has a chance at happening. The name isn't going to change.
Despite how bad you and pr DESPERATELY want to complain about it changing and people wanting it to change, the name is not going to change
I thought Special Person's Day was supposed to be Valentine's Day, not Father's Day?
My Dad made a big deal about Mother's Day, so I asked my mother why they didn't have a Dad's Day. She said they did, and it was called Father's Day. That seemed fair to me, as a 5 year old. But they didn't have a Kid's Day, which kind of bothered me, but my mother told me everyday was Kid's Day. That sort of bought me off, but I still wasn't completely satisfied.

Kids never are happy, no matter how much candy you give them. So better to not give them much, for their teeth.
I'm a special person, but only today - it's my birthday. I was hoping to get a bidet for my B-day, but oh well, I'll just have to get along with out it.

Some people hate or love their mothers. Some people hate or love their fathers. Allowing one day for those who love either or both does not seem excessive. There is too much anger applied from the specific to the general.
I had some problems with both. But I think they tried their best and that's all one can ask.

The goal isn't a new holiday, to honor "different parenting" ... but to replace an existing one.

It opens up a whole new spectrum of people to buy Hallmark Cards for. Now you get to buy flowers for care givers, baby sitters, and kidnappers.

I recall asking my Mom when Childrens Day is one Mothers Day (as I am sure most children do ask at some point), and she said "The other 363 days" (as most Mothers do).

well.. actually..

It does exist, just seems odd they wouldn't go all out with it, since card company would make a mint off having parents needing to have a second birthday for their lil'bastards.

No, I suspect sensible adult people just refuse to pay attention to it.

well must be working then. But lets be honest, on figured, how many people would have the sense to ignore it, and how many people would conform to it as a national day if they were more aware of it?

It depends. Do we get the day off at work?

well mothers/fathers day isn't, even if they are on sundays.
I'm retired. Every day is Saturday. Actually, most days are Mondays. No crowds at the stores. I like Mondays a lot better now.
And yes, I'm rubbing that in to all you working stiffs.
On the other hand, I'm probably going to die sooner than you folks... Nothing is perfect.
I retired in 2004.
