Now Fox and Carlson SHOULD HAVE asked themselves, (assuming they give any credence that women do want TRUE EQUALITY), is that if Fathers Day has to go, so does Mothers Day. Any mothers out there gonna go for that?? It might be the only day of the year moms are brought breakfast in bed, don't have to do the dishes, get flowers and the one holiday husbands can't dump all the planning, shopping, and festivities on to the moms (well let's hope not anyway). THEY'RE IDIOTS!!! FAUX news is just that. The host of Fox & Friends on Sunday fell for an Internet hoax that feminists had hatched a plot for bringing down Fathers Day, and possibly ending men altogether. As Death and Taxes reported on Friday, pranksters at the website 4Chan had created the fake social media campaign with the hashtag #EndFathersDay to to make feminists and the things we fight for look ridiculous. Other 4Chan social media hoaxes have included #WhitesCantBeRaped, with the another aimed at trying to convince CNN of a new pro-anorexia fashion trend called the bikini bridge. Fox News host Tucker Carlson noted on Sunday that the hashtag had started out as a joke, but had been picking up steam with feminists online.

"Fox News host Tucker Carlson noted on Sunday that the hashtag had started out as a joke," I mean this honestly and mean no offense but do you actually read the articles you are posting?
My friend the cemetery caretaker told me that Mother's Day is the busiest visiting day of the year. Father's Day? No increase in visits at all.
\ Precisely!! I did read the article, did you? Carlson and Faux News drove an anti- feminist storyline based on a joke. If they knew from the get go, why did they run with it?? Any LEGITIMATE news agency wouldn't have touched it!
"but had been “picking up steam with feminists online.”" No i do not think you read your own article.
To be fair, isn't Fox and Friends sort of a self-parody by Fox on itself? OTOH I didn't see the article. I HAVE seen actual conservative POLS, not just commentators, get taken by COLBERT, that is, they took Colbert seriously when he was lampooning them. I'm constantly surprised that Fox isn't taken by Hoaxers every other week or so. I always thought O'Reilly was a hoaxer who succeeded so well he decided to stick with it.
No, not at all weird. They took what was obviously meant as a joke, (and even stated it was) and took it entirely seriously since it gave them an opportunity to bash feminists. Typical of Fox and of conservatives, the most mean spirited and humorless people to walk the Earth. Oh, and I wonder if that one (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) would be so quick to use men's not being married as a justification if they were making a substantial percentage less than women. Jerks.
This might blow your mind if you let it (probably you'll just deny it) but the women who are making a substantial percentage less than men while working in the same fields are making less because they're... wait for it... married and/or spending a lot of time with their children. It's been irrefutably proven that the women are making 77% less than men because they're working roughly 77% as much or working in lower paying areas (despite being more likely to go to college), the actual pay gap after these things are accounted for is like 0.5%. The real question is why a dwindling sect of feminists want to vilify marriage and having children as a decision that should come in second after working on one's career. The simple truth is that women lose time on the job during pregnancy, child birth, recovering, nursing and raising kids and those who get married and have someone else around have an easier time coping with that lost time. It's just Bateman's principle and those women who (foolishly) choose to put their career ahead of their biological success are doing as well as men do in the career area.
So all women spend 23% of every year in Childbirth? That's TWELVE weeks every year they have to actually take off? THREE MONTHS??. This does not include any time they can work while pregnant nor any time doing any other child raising duties that can just as well be done by men, which should equal out. Wow, you conservatives really DO believe your wives should be barefoot and pregnant, don't you. Oh. and how about women in single parent households. I guess these sinful hussies who've not remarried fast enough after their husbands were killed in one of your endless Republican wars deserve less, as do their kids. I don't have to deny your figures, I can just figure them, they're bull(*)(*)(*)(*) or we'd have a birth rate exceeding Saudi Arabia. The reason why a "dwindling" group of feminists want to "vilify" marriage is because some employers want to use it as an excuse to pay women less, even if they're not married at all, or in one parent households. In any case this has nothing to do with Fox taking what was SPECIFIED as a joke and running with it as a real story. Fox didn't get pwned by a hoax. They did the hoaxing, 4 chan is a comedy site, Hoaxing is part of what they do, their stock in trade, when a "news" org calls something true that they were TOLD is not, it's called LYING, far as I understand.
I also mentioned their decision to go into different careers and the decision to focus upon child rearing and what the divide is for women who don't do these things. But OK, denial acknowledged, you have your straw man and you're not letting him go. Regarding the horror of birth rates, I understand that social liberalism and feminism is a giant brain (*)(*)(*)(*) meant to try and lower the birth rate but my values and religion have led me to reject that game so you will have to try and use your "we could be like Saudi Arabia" e-bullying somewhere else, it doesn't matter to me if we were "like Saudi Arabia" in regards to birth rates.
I think it's funny that Fox bashes feminists..... yet two of their favorite commentators are Laura Ingraham, who has children but no husband (i.e. the Social Con attack of "feminists want children raised without a father in the household")..... and Ann Coulter, who is in her 50s, never married, no children, no long-term relationship with a man, focused entirely on her career.....again another feminist stereotype the Social Cons rail against!?!?!?!?
