Father's Day is fast approaching, and that probably means you're on the lookout for gifts. If your dad leans toward a feminist frame of thought, then you're in luck, because there are a number of feminist Father's Day 2017 gifts to give the most empowering man in your life.
A supportive father is so important for a young woman's growth and development. Talking about abstract concepts like respect and solidarity is one thing; having an adult male who demonstrates these values in real life is another. If you're lucky enough to have a feminist father, then it's likely your world view and growth has been influenced by his support. Whether your dad is an outspoken advocate for women's rights, or simply a man who encouraged you to follow your dreams — whether they fit into the stereotypical mold of feminine behavior or not — he deserves some extra props on Father's Day.
You can gift your dad some reading material about influential women of history. Are funny hats and t-shirts more his vibe? There's plenty of those, too, and they all subtly (or not-so-subtly) support his awesome daughter, as well as women overall. Whether they're funny, thoughtful, or sweet, these Father's Day gifts are perfect for any feminist dad.
