Have you not heard of nuns and priests? They all live unmarried/childless lives that revolve around their vocations. Catholicism does not teach that it’s a sin to be single.

I am a catholic and I don’t believe in anything he said to these young graduates.

This guy´s speech just doesn´t belong at a commencement. Save it for a Baby shower. He just looks stupid saying that to a bunch of GRADUATES who just got their DEGREES. That in itself is CLEARLY A SIGNAL THEY PLAN TO DO SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT WITH THEIR LIVES. He just looks STUPID for not being able to take the hint.

This is EXACTLY what I was thinking! Btw, I am NOT Catholic.

Exactly!!

Woke has always something to complain 😂

The Catholic Church does not promote anti-semitism, which is what he did in his speech. He also told women to "stay in their lane." The Catholic Church reveres many vocations for single, childless women. Has he heard of nuns? What a career Mother Theresa had. Does he have some animus toward his mother who is a working physicist?

@@christinahanna6666 I am Roman Catholic. Have been for 45 years. What he put forth was neither Catholic nor Christian. If it were, there would be no issue.

That I agree with. A stable household goes along way with BOTH parents fulfilling their parental duties, even if the dad is the care taker and the mom is the bread-winner

Completely agree. How dare a practicing, successful Catholic have a commencement speech at a Catholic college about Catholic doctrine to a bunch of Catholic graduates!

What does any of this have to do with motivating graduates who finished their degree...most likely to go into their careers?

Well, yeah, almost as if that's not comparable at all? It is not a controversial opinion to say that if you have children then you shouldn't be an absentee father. That's why childcare exists. That's literally doing the bare minimum for your own child. That's not comparable to telling women that they've been "told a lie" that they can have a career. He tells the men to "do hard things", "pursue talents", and to "lead the culture". Meanwhile, he only tells women that their job is to just be wives and mothers. Not only that, but he has the gall to talk about how "cost of life shouldn't be part of your career planning decisions because it separates you from God", which is so tone-deaf considering he gets paid millions of dollars to kick a ball.

@@ecclairmayo4153 its their choice what to do with their lives. Its as if he forced all women present to be a homemaker. 😂

Butker is offensive

@@ecstanton8385 since his job is to kick oblong balls through the uprights and score 1 or 3 points (extra point or field goal) I guess you could say his job is offensive. If you meant it any other way then you're being absolutely silly.

Yeah, I never see the right wing outrage machine in full swing....sarcasm

I don’t understand why it’s not okay to be told that my career is a betrayal to my duty to be a wife and mother. Like, why don’t you mind your business and just let people live.

Not exactly. Butker told women that those who didn't put their family first or dared to place importance on having a career were victims of "diabolical lies". Further, if anyone dared to adopt a child (like Hoda), they were "degenerates". Good to know that's how YOU feel... maybe it's an older generation thing. The rest of us women have enough brains to discern "diabolical lies" from facts and make up our own decisions about our lives

He did not tell men that. Dishonest

Nope. Listen to the entire speech.

I agree with you. He didn't say anything irrational.

Exactly! But that doesn’t play into the faux outrage the media & left are stoking.

When did Jesus say that women have to stay at home?

@@user-ej4th4pq9k he didnt say they "have" to stay at home. homemaking is one of the most important things, raising children, giving them blessed childhoods, living for one's children before oneself is important and good for men and women, but of both genders, women are generally better suited to do this as their chief vocation. the maternal bond is much deeper and even physiological, the intimacy of breastfeeding and all the instincts and chemicals that are unique to the mother to her child (when properly bonded) and the fact that women DO even out of marriage find more comfort and meaning in more domestic and social-oriented careers, all mean that if either parent has to stay at home, it is almost certainly going to be the woman unless there is a physical or mental health problem. men are more prone to cabin fever, they are more motivated by adventure and status building and more technical pursuits, as we see in their choices in careers and free time. far more men use their free time to play war games, competitive and/or aggressive sports, whereas far more women use their free time to sit down with a coffee and socialize, or engage with sentimental media in gossip magazines and women's talk shows and tiktok, or to concern themselves with makeup and fashion. men often have more interest in history, in wars and adventure, while women are often most interested in modern media about relationships, dramas about interpersonal dynamics, etc. men are more inclined to either more solitary or technical jobs like engineering, or, alternatively, to jobs where there is a sense of masculine comradeship like you see among construction workers, whereas women are more inclined to jobs in social services where there is a lot of emotional interaction, AND when they go into jobs that are not like that, we see them bring that stuff in there, feminizing the environment with messages of "validation" and comfort such as at universities, and they even often talk about their students in a maternal way, and about "building relationships" whereas the males in the environment generally just want to get on with whatever is at hand and they are alienated or frustrated by the sentimentalism. we see in politics that women are much more concerned about things like animal welfare and "validating" minorities and nurturing refugees/immigrants than are men. statistics and simple common sense and observation proves these trends. we all know it's there, even if you find a man who wants to be a hairdresser or a woman who loves call of duty. for these reasons, it is a natural and intuitive thing that societies and communities divide labour in the family by the breadwinner and homemaker. all these trends for women, their affinity for beautifying through makeup and hair and fashion, and their being highly emotionally motivated, much more driven by empathy and interested in following and contributing to the intricacies of interpersonal relationships--all these things are "homemaker" qualities. rather than in all the idle pursuits of modern society, all those qualities are fulfilled when the home is made beautiful and "homely", an environment of feminine comfort and sensitivity, a sanctuary from the outside world, somewhere husband and child feel at peace, and, furthermore, they do this to the whole community when they belong to one, all the women coming together to make the church and festivals beautiful and they find great joy in that. empathy and sensitivity is better placed in one's child than in politics and strangers, and the tendency to create a soft and validating environment is better placed in the sanctuary of the home rather than in our institutions. none of this is problematic, and it's all plain as day. the only issue one might have with it is finding it "inconvenient"

Fanatical catholics you may add. Most catholic countries do not follow these archaic ideas of genderized social caste. But American seem to love taking things to the extreme…

@@user-ej4th4pq9k Where in Harrison's speech did he say that?

I think it's because they had educated parents who read to them and taught them at home before they went to preschool. I also used my education degree to help other people's kids.

It was a commencement speech for THE GRADUATES - NOT HIMSELF. And many of the graduates said they were upset he made the speech so selfish and about what HE thinks everyone should do. He kicks footballs, he should stay in his lane

Well the nuns didn't agree with him either. There is such a thing as the "tone" of the message. Read between the lines.

@@cady__ 💯

What both the graduates and the media found troubling wasn't the speaker's devout Catholic views but his departure from the celebratory tone expected at such an event. Graduations are meant to honor hard work and inspire future endeavors. However, instead of offering congratulations, the speaker asserted that female graduates had been misled and would face limited futures due to their gender. To illustrate the impact, consider if the roles were reversed: imagine a female speaker at a predominantly male profession's graduation, who congratulates only women and suggests men should quit because they're better suited for another field. It's crucial to clarify that Catholic doctrine doesn't inherently limit women's success. Many women hold significant roles within the Church, including psychologists and leaders in social services. The problem lies in the speaker's demoralizing remarks, not in Catholic beliefs.

Why did he address only the women instead of everybody about this? Why wasn’t it “the majority of you are looking to becoming parents?”

Lol, that is NOT want he said because that point is agreeable.

@@dbecks241don’t go asking the fools in these comments to embrace logic 😂

Belittling the accomplishments of female graduates is criminal, Catholic or not! Shame on you!

Catholic women do not need to be told to lean into their vocation of wife and mother. Honoring the dedication of years and commitment to earn a degree is the purpose of a commencement ceremony. I would’ve been furious if I heard that garbage at any of my graduations! I did not go through schooling to become a wife and mother. I have become one but I did not go through extensive education to do those vocations. This speech would be a deterrent for any future female applicant to that school unless they are going to college ONLY to earn a MRS.

What if you cannot have children?

Ok klanconcubine- cool story 😂

Did he specify what type of women he was talking about? Also why other catholic women disagree with him too?

Chose to feel offended, is the exact words.

He literally said (and this is an exact quote) "and I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical of lies told to you". I'm sorry, but how in the world is saying that we have been told "the most diabolical of lies" NOT judgemental and misogynistic? Let's also not skip past the "dangerous gender ideologies" and "the tyranny of diversity, equity, and inclusion" (that last one actually sounds like something a movie villain would say) lines.

Liberal women can't even tell you what a woman is. Don't give them so much credit

I’m disappointed by your response.

I'm a catholic, those are not those our beliefs, those are 1940 beliefs, millions of women have no desire to get married, or have kids!

Did you miss the part where multiple Catholic women, including at that very school, were furious?

There is nothing “Catholic” about what he said.

This is right wing propaganda dressed up as "religious speech".

A lot of bitter women in these comments

He knows nothing about being a wife or mother.

He implied this to women who had worked hard to earn their degrees. He had no business judging them.

I'm disappointed in these two. I would have thought Hoda and Jenna would be different.

Amen! Unfortunately, there is nothing between the ears of a lot of KZfaqrs.

I'm Jewish and went there because it was close to where I lived and worked. No one told me to be a Baptist to attend there. That's against the law. He was supposed to enlighten the graduates not tell his religious beliefs. They already knew what their school was like. Duh.

I am Catholic and I don’t agree with anything he said and it was not the time and place to say it! And I went to Catholic middle school and we had Jewish kids on our class so not everyone is Catholic. This is not the belief of most Catholics! I keep hearing it was a Catholic audience no this is extremist views even for Catholics.

It’s a Benedictine college. You need to understand what that means. There is a reason he got a standing ovation from the students.

Again it’s a catholic college does not mean they have these extreme views or agree with what he was saying. People stating that as a reason but it’s not so stop. Stop agreeing with it cuz of the “religion” of the college. They have interviewed students who did not stand or clap.

Of course it offends her immoral lifestyle. For a woman who adopted two little girls at her age, she should appreciate what he was saying about motherhood.

You don’t need a degree to do that. This one day is dedicated to celebrate the academic achievements of the graduates, the culmination of years of effort! It was not the day to point out wifely duties!

Good for you, but to say it is all women's vocation is hurting all women.

Plus what he said wasn't his opinion, these are Catholics believes... At a Catholic university?!

Who is hateful? Sounds a bit dramatic. I have never heard of a woman not supporting another woman's decision to stay home. This is all fabricated..

And the women that he was addressing at that catholic college have said they felt uncomfortable listening to a MAN tell them what they should be most happy with. Wow, you're grateful that your mom was willing to stay home and take care of you. Good for you. But you, just like Butker, don't speak for everyone. Case in point in Butker's mom. She's a renowned physicist who raised such an ungrateful son. I guess he didn't appreciate his mother focusing on her career while also raising him. She must not have been home enough.

@@pomerlain8924my mom also worked. Around having us. I think you are making a mountain of a mole hill.

So why didn’t he tell the men that being a father and husband is their highest calling? Why didn’t he mention them, only women?

Ha ha ha! Best comment so far!

How about asking men that?

please supply reference so that I can read.

I agree. Despite the virtue signaling on Mother's Day--this culture belittles mothers and their significance in a child's life. A mom who is home with her children especially when they are very young--has tremendous influence on how they will function as adults.

There is a difference between celebrating motherhood and suggesting that women should only be mothers or that their life is somehow sad and incomplete if they don't have children. When people talk about fatherhood nobody assumes that it is somehow an alternative to a career. They get to enjoy both experiences.

They're mouthpieces for the machine.

What is this whole truth you think he is presenting? All I heard was a lot of old-timey, misogynistic B.S. Sickening.

That’s great! For YOU! That’s the difference. He can’t speak for every single woman. One, he’s not a woman.

Don't you think there are men who would see value in staying home to raise the kids and be a homemaker...why would he not include them in his speech?

Well said!!

Those who are not happy with what he said are equally entitled to their opinions

I'm a real mom who stayed home with my children after my husband left and I made due by the grace of God who provided for us because I put my children first and didn't ship them off to before and after care. I took them to school and picked them up and helped them with homework and took them to church and I don't regret sacrifice a so-called life of my own for my children. After they were all in college, I went to college and God provided a way for me to earn a degree and be a Catholic school teacher. Don't be afraid to sacrifice what you think is "your life and happiness " for children and family. God will bless you for it.

Excellent point!!!

Absolutely agree

Exactly

Yeah I did and I still do t like it and I’m a housewife and mother.

I listened to the entire speech and he still comes across as close-minded, misogynistic and homophobic.

Listened to it and I was disgusted…

Yeah,…so we all understood that he was speaking at a religious school that shares that same opinion, right? It may not be my view either, but understanding context is really crucial here… I take it a lot of people don’t understand the context and audience he was speaking to - Benedictine College is a conservative catholic college that adheres to church teachings and practice (I implore you to please google them and understand their philosophy) they are old school y’all… respect everyone’s right to their own opinion - last I checked, this is a free country.

Actually listening to the entire speech makes is way worse.

Actually listening to the whole speech. Makes it even worse.

Not women, but two women.
