Your Father's Day Gift Ideas
I am ALWAYS stumped by Fathers’ Day. There are four dads in my life (mine, my step-dad, my kids’ dad, his dad) and none of them really care about gifts or fit the classic golf/grilling dad stereotypes. I also have plenty of angry feminist feelings about the way this holiday leans into the stereotypes and tropes that enable dads to do less domestic work than moms. This year, I think I solved it: I’m making a donation to a charity that supports marginalized women on all of their behalf. Currently debating between one of the Gaza aid orgs (which I did for Mothers’ Day), National Network of Abortion Funds, or the National Domestic Workers Alliance, which fights for rights of house cleaners, nannies and other care workers. Or maybe I just solved my next THREE Fathers’ Days?! Will probably never buy another tie…
