In the US why not get rid of Father’s Day for ”Adult Male Guardian Day”, seeing how fatherhood as been devalued over the decades?

Is it not it ironic that the US, a nation that practically reduces a father to just a sperm donor and an ATM celebrates Father’s Day? It certainly does not stand for what it use to. Most are told the household would run just fine without a father, so why not just ax it in favor of ”Adult Male Guardian Day” or something?

Looking at all the nations of the world that has some sort of Father’s Day, or day to celebrate their fathers, most of them hold fathers in a larger esteem than the US by appearances. In the US, I would not be surprised if half of society pretty much sees fathers as irrelevant; any male body can do that if needed. It seems the only time anyone really focus on the father is when its time to cut the child support check.
