“I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolic lies told to you. Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world…”

    “The world around us says that we should keep our beliefs to ourselves whenever they go against the tyranny of diversity, equity and inclusion,”…

    “the tyranny of diversity, equity and inclusion”

    Dude could have just said DEI. But spelling it out really shows how stupid it is.

    Aren’t the majority of people in general more excited about family and relationships than about their careers? Most jobs nowadays aren’t exactly inspiring.

      Also you need the career unless you want your kids in absolute povety, which can lead them down some really dark places.

      Elite projection is strong with this one. He thinks anyone can just afford to have kids and careers are something people have as a fun thing.

    Hahaha. Even if there WERE lots of women who wanted to be homemakers, there is no way that a family can run on the average single income. So, somebody has been telling diabolical lies to him about the current economy.

      About 50% of American families are single-income families, with half of those being single mothers and the other half being single-income, two-parent families. Single-income, two-parent families are found at every income bracket. The idea that it’s impossible (“there is no way”) is a myth.

        And where do your stats come from? Do they account for the current cost of living crisis that’s affecting the average person globally? Inflation? Where I am, living on a single income for a family means that you’re likely either in the top 10% of wealth or you’re struggling in poverty.

        Additionally, your statement ignores that someone has gone to a university graduation ceremony and made derogatory remarks to the female students who’ve worked hard to get to where they are.

          The Department of Labor.

          That never happened. The media made that up and you swallowed it without actually using any critical thinking skills or reading his comments yourself. If he had made “derogatory comments” towards the women in that audience then he would not have received a standing ovation from those women. People don’t give you a standing ovation for insulting them.

      FTA:

      Butker recently delivered the commencement address at Benedictine College, a liberal arts institution in Atchison, Kansas. This is the same college that once forced out gay basketball player Jallen Messersmith to remove a rainbow flag from his dorm room window.

      It would seem that Butker felt right at home.

      So unfortunately, it seems like this night be what the college was going for.

          Thats not what liberal arts means… Liberal arts colleges require classes across multiple disciplines across the humanites and sciences, beleiveing a rounded education is beneficial to a hyper specific one.

          I would say the pick one is more of “Liberal arts institution” and “rural Kansas”.

      We live in a World were, still (one would expect they should have learned by now) many if not most people listen to the opinions of people about things they’re not at all experts in (such as sports-people, actors and so on) because they’re “celebrities”.

      Working in a profession which just so happens to be done publicly for an audience does not make one’s take on things outside that profession be any higher quality that those of any other random person.

      By the way, it’s quite irrelevant if their opinion aligns or not with one’s own: the informational value of what they think is still zero.

    Butker, a conservative Catholic himself, dismissed Pride month as consisting of the “deadly sin sort of pride” while denouncing abortion and President Joe Biden’s handling of the pandemic. He said women are told “diabolical lies” about career ambition when “one of the most important titles of all” is that of homemaker. He said this is not time for “the church of nice” and in particular blasted Catholics who support abortion rights and “dangerous gender ideologies.”

    What a tool. But the school says:

    The society seeks to differentiate schools that “refuse to compromise their Catholic mission” from those that have become “battlegrounds for today’s culture wars.”

    Yet they invite this tool to speak and be part of those same culture wars.

    https://apnews.com/article/catholic-college-conservative-commencement-harrison-butker-a40b881fe41ac489853fb67e58ed20d1

    Just in case you think it’s one right-wingnut school turning out students who attend because it suits their narrative:

    Benedictine College’s Transforming Culture in America plan makes professional advancement for students a high priority, saying “Transforming Culture in America will require leaders in the workplace and public life who inspire others to be committed to living the Gospel.”

    The “BC in D.C.” program was started specifically to help Benedictine College students gain experience in positions of power in our nation’s capital in order to further the Center for Constitutional Liberty’s mission to inspire, inform, and direct the next generation of America’s leaders.

    https://media.benedictine.edu/bc-in-d-c-is-bringing-benedictine-values-to-capitol-hill

    So there you have it, a religious school intent on inserting religious like-minded individuals into politics and influencing politics in the direction of individuals like Butker.
