Back in 2014, this hashtag began trending on Twitter.

Well, it started out as a joke, but the hashtag end Father's Day is picking up steam with feminists online and with others in social media.

End Father's Day.

The idea was Father's Day celebrates the patriarchy, so screw it.

Fathers are useless, hashtag end Father's Day.

Oh, come on.

Just more of this nasty feminist rhetoric that they're not just interested in ending Father's Day.

They're interesting ending men.

That's really what they want.

I remember someone bringing it up and being like, remember in Father's Day? And I was like,

what is that? Who would want that? This makes no sense.

Rachel Hampton is a writer here at Slate. So can you read to me a few of the tweets that went out

using the end Father's Day hashtag?

Yeah. So one says, Father's Day is the glorification of the patriarchy and the systematic oppression of women and children. Another says, women aren't rapists, murderers, and child abusers,

men are. One says, in Father's Day, because masculinity is what causes abuse and is nothing to celebrate.

In Father's Day, because 100% of child abuse is from men, typically white men, we need hashtag

single mothers.

Who are the people who are theoretically tweeting this stuff out?

So most of them are women of color and then a lot of them are black women.

And a few of them are white women, but most of the people who are tweeting this out are black

women with names like Charmica Martin or handles like cis hate,

names like Nene Thompson, Latrine Watts.
