Similar to how mother’s Day is up there with Christmas but Father’s Day gets mostly ignored.
As a dad you’re used to it year after year, being completely unappreciated. And if you complain you get called a misogynist. Men aren’t really allowed to vent or talk about their anxieties or mental health issues, if you do you get told that women and everyone have it worse, and invalidate your feelings.
I’m sorry that’s your experience, here mother’s and father’s day are pretty even I guess. Tbh I only see what my kids bring back from school and all the adverts for each day.
I know that men talking about their issues is not welcomed everywhere. If you need to talk and nobody of your friends/family wants to listen it sucks, but you need to reach outside of your inner circle. I’ve found great people to talk to online on anonymous chats. Simplex.chat has some groups (it’s a bit of a pain to find your way through at the beginning and you need to sift through some shit before finding some good people. As in life).
If people around you are shit, change people. It sucks, but you’ll be better off in the long run.

I don’t know where you are but in Australia Fathers Day is definitely not ignored. The men where I work even get little gifts.
