It was a speech given at a Catholic university by a Catholic who voiced his opinion on several subjects to Catholic students (the very definition of "staying your lane"). Somehow you have interpreted his voicing of opinion as "forcing" others into something and eliminating the constitution? Again....I don’t know why I’m wasting time on you when it will go in one ear and out the other rapidly. First off Joe Biden is Catholic. But unlike this guy, he understands and reveres the separation of church and state. Let him live the way he wants, but what he’s really promoting is eliminating the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and replacing both with some religious monstrosity. He, like so many others, believes that the way they choose to live is so perfect that they demand everyone in the country to give up their hard earned blood spilt rights for their utopian delusions. Almighty God gave us free will to choose. These wannabe dictators are desirous of eliminating that choice. When so called Christians are willing to throw out Christ’s own words, and embrace the fig that bears no fruit instead, they’re lost, and so is their credibility. When bought and paid for judges and politicians eliminate women’s rights to their own bodies what’s next? You Catholics can have 10 kids using the rhythm method if you want, but what gives you the right to force pregnancy on others? Who the hell do you think you are? It seems to me far too many want to go back to the Church of England and all that entails. Plane fare is reasonable considering you hate, and constantly rail against the freedoms in this country. Trying to force your idea of morality on this country is against free will . Do what you want in your own church but leave the country alone. This so-called Christian Nationalism seems related to the Taliban to me. Convert or face the consequences . Is the country you desire run by Catholics or Baptist or Muslims, or Jews or Hindus, or any other religion one could name? It’s a fool’s errand to even try to consolidate religious power under one set of beliefs. This is why the separation between church and state is mandatory. You do you, I’ll do me. In a secular society open to all religions and laws written to protect that right not destroy it. Someone tell the choir boy to stay in his lane. If you think my core family values don’t match yours, great, me and mine will embrace the fruitful fig tree.
So you and your wife would have preferred to stay home (why is that) but he's a sexist for praising those that do that very thing and suggesting that those that lean into it will find it possibly even more rewarding than a career? Plenty of women without husbands that make $4m stay at home with the kiddos. It's a matter of priorities.Most rewarding job is motherhood and fatherhood! no $h!t (for most of us)...doesn't mean the woman needs to be a 'homemaker'...my wife did a wonderful job of raising our kids AND having a career...my daughter is doing the same...
sidenote: my wife would have preferred to stay home when kids were younger; hell, I would have also, but God didn't touch me and gift me with incredible abilities to be a professional athlete...buttker makes $4 mil per year...they can afford it for one thing, but if his wife wanted to have a career besides a homemaker, I would hope he would support her!
his words may be twisted to some, maybe he meant no disrespect to women in general, but it comes across as women would be better off staying at home and being a 'homemaker' instead of using their degree that they just worked so hard to get...
Some see him as a good Christian man that was 'preaching' his values/beliefs...I see him as a sexist homophobe
Laugh if you want he’s squarely on the side taking women’s rights away from them, and judging Joe Biden for not being a partisan hack who answers only to the Pope. He acts as though it’s sinful for a woman to have a career. Easy to say if you’re a millionaire but discounts terribly the fact that most women work today. Arrogance is what it’s call with a good bit of hypocrisy thrown in for good measure. Now go tell your pregnant wife to kick those shoes off and get in there and make you dinner ! I’m sure you’ve trained her up to your standards.It was a speech given at a Catholic university by a Catholic who voiced his opinion on several subjects to Catholic students (the very definition of "staying your lane").

He’s free to say or believe whatever he wants. But he’s not entitled to not be questioned about his comments, or not be lambasted for stupid sexism.Over 190k people signed a change.org petition demanding the KC Chiefs dismiss Butker. LOL
According to the change.org petition his comments are:
* “racist”. Did he make any comments about race?
* “contribute significantly towards hate crimes that have been on the rise”. Makes perfect sense
* “increase mental health issues among targeted communities”. Is the targeted groups non-Catholics? Or just any religion. Unsurprisingly, the same guy who started this petition also has an anti-Israel petition.
* “dehumanizing remarks, attacks on abortion rights and racial discrimination”. Yes, Butker is pro-life, but again about race?
For those wanting to help make the petitions goal of 200k.

Yes, it is.itś a matter of choice....
What exactly are the "Diabolical lies" that he claims women have been told the most?He never states a women needs to be a homemaker and not work. @GOGETUMPOKE linked speech, if you care to read what he actually said.
Yes, his words are being twisted. The first two posts in this thread starting this discussion included statements and claims Butker never made.
I don’t agree with that assessment. And hard to understand why people would jump to that conclusion.
I agree that phrase was very bad.What exactly are the "Diabolical lies" that he claims women have been told the most?
my two daughters were upset/angry about his speech...they are both very strong, intelligent, confident young women who are tired of our society treating women as the weaker, lesser gender...he ´opened the door´ by opening his mouth...I agree that phrase was very bad.
In fact, I showed the four paragraphs, starting with that one, to my 23 year old daughter (she graduated last May) to get her perspective.
She specifically called out “diabolical lies” and said that was “stupid” and “took away from a good message”.
But she also said she could see if people were looking to complain that he “opened the door”.
So strong and confident, that a speech from a person they don’t know that was not delivered to them, makes them angry and upset?? Okay.my two daughters were upset/angry about his speech...they are both very strong, intelligent, confident young women who are tired of our society treating women as the weaker, lesser gender...he ´opened the door´ by opening his mouth...
isn´t that special...btw there are a lot of strong and confident women nationwide who were angry and upset about it, but okay...if you think our society does not treat genders unequally, your heads are in the sand...So strong and confident, that a speech from a person they don’t know that was not delivered to them, makes them angry and upset?? Okay.
My two daughters do not think society treats them as a weaker and lesser gender. They are strong and confident, but also just happy people that don’t worry themselves with other people.
The problem with this statement is that YOU see intolerance in how people are responding to him while we see intolerance in what he said.Society would be a lot better if people were more tolerant of other people’s views.
