Happy Fathers' Day! Up with Dads and Down with the Patriarchy!

It's time for Fathers of conscience to rise up against the Patriarchy. Stand by your wives and children, and oppose The Man.

Down with the Deadbeats: from the Abrahamic Uber-Dads in Tehran who hide behind their beards and their riot squads, and the lacy palace Eunuchs of Rome who dictate how we may love, to the Born Again pyramid schemers who are trying to sell us back our Souls.

Why is the Ur-Father so quick to lay his Son upon the Alter of Sacrifice?

God changed his mind, circumcision and a goat sacrifice will doPatriarchy breeds weak men who rule from fear. Afraid to look into the eyes of a Woman or a Gay person for dread of what might be reflected there. Afraid that he will die and his children will live. Afraid his life is based on a Lie, that Love is gone and there is no hope of Joy. Afraid of what his Father will do to him when He gets Home.

Dads, any authority you have is loaned to you by your partners and children, not handed down to you from above. Don't abuse it. Happy Fathers' Day to all and a special group hug for all the Children of Abraham.
