    Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker bashes Pride Month, tells women to stay in the kitchen​

    Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker bashes Pride Month, tells women to stay in the kitchen - Yahoo Sports
    Do you agree with Harrison?

    After delivering some incendiary comments about Covid and President Biden, Butker got around to what he perceives as a woman’s ultimate and rightful place: the kitchen.
    “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.
     
    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

    (I dug a bit more - more time than I should have spent on this person lol- and found a video of his speech - which I won't watch lol)

    He also took a large chunk of his speech to speak directly to the women in the audience. He said that while many of them likely are excited to start a career and get promotions, they should instead consider the only vocation that will make them most happy: homemaker.

    Im sure Taylor Swift is pleased to hear his speech lol

    good lord we got some folks with a podium that have no business with a podium.
     
    A Catholic college enrolling women, charging them $130,000 and putting them through four years of academic rigor for their degree only to bring in a man who kicks footballs for a living to address them directly and tell them they’ve been lied to - and should be in the home is peak cruelty. Truly twisted.

    I feel so sorry for them - it’s forked up. The focus has been on him but I think it’s better placed on the school. What a horrible thing to do.

    Is it common for the University to preview the speakers speech beforehand?

    I don't know. I can't imagine they knew these remarks were coming and still allowed him the podium.

    They haven’t disavowed the comments - or apologized to their graduates. I think it’s reasonable to expect that content of the speech was discussed, even if a draft wasn't reviewed. But, yes, that doesn’t mean they knew everything he was going to say . . . then again, they got a 28 year old NFL kicker to give the commencement address. He's not a known public speaker, I think they probably had a pretty darn good idea of what he was going to say. That's why they invited him.
     
    Harrison Butker’s university commencement address at Benedictine College excoriating Pride month, working women, abortion rights activists and others has prompted the National Football League to disavow his remarks – but the Kansas City Chiefs placekicker’s jersey sales have spiked as conservatives seize on their latest culture war.

    Butker has also drawn an impassioned statement of support from Josh Hawley, the far-right US senator from Missouri known for his opposition to abortion and a viral video which showed him running away from the mob he incited during the US Capitol attack on 6 January 2021.……

    That was predictable. :rolleyes:
     
    It's really a bad time for an NFL player to be saying that women should be raising babies given that the Swifties are just starting to watch the NFL.

    Roger is probably madder about this than he was at Ray Rice.
     
    So a woman employed by the city evidently posted online that Butker lives in Lee’s Summit, which has around 100,000 people. I don’t know how she knew that, but someone said it was public knowledge that he lived in that area. MAGA men have now been threatening and harassing any female they can find who works for the city of Kansas City, posting pictures and so forth. The mayor has posted this:



    The replies to this tweet alone are worth reading, if you doubt that misogyny has made a big comeback in MAGA.
