I'm a highly educated and successful career woman. My multiple university degrees and professional accolades are in a box in a closet. Photos of my husband, children, and our family are displayed throughout my home.

Other countries practice this daily....I support this man

I feel sorry for the fully indoctrinated lost young people I pray they wake up

Harrison was asked to speak. Colin disrupted games. The end

god forbid two adults decide they want a family

This is the greatest thing for a woman being a mother

I am so eternally grateful that my wife put her career on hold to stay home with our kids. Its no guarantee but they are in their 20s, both are entirely successful and on their own, no drug problems, no anti depression drugs and no crime. My wife went back to her career when my youngest was 16 and is every bit as successful as she would have been if she never quit. Married 30 years and grateful. I tell her often how much I honor her choice

God forbid he wants a wife and family

Listening to career women who have kids say you can't be a mom and have a successful career is really silly

I must be old; I can remember when Feminism was about women wanting to have it all -- rewarding career AND home and family, just as men have. So what's the problem now?

He was quite clear that women had a choice and he was equally clear about what a good Catholic would choose.

Women whose career is motherhood have a long-term contribution to the economy that would last decades, or even, a century legacy!

He got more blowback than Diddy

My grandchildren are on the way in the coming months and I am fortunate enough to give the kids an option if the ladies want to return to work. My wife and I will help care for them as needed to make sure that their mothers are either with them or letting us take care of them. It is too important to have family there for their growth. We might even homeschool with minimal exposure to indoctrination

It’s true about asking you what do you do? I was home with my kids. Well what about before and after. I didn’t have a career. I had part time jobs her and there over the years. I went to college. I worked after college. But what I wanted was to be married and have children. I was in high school and college in the 70s. I’m Catholic. I wish we had a speaker like him when I graduated.

My mom was raised during the depression. Women were raised to be wives and mothers. It benefitted me and other kids to have an awesome mom at home. I also had a dad who loved and supported my mom. It was idyllic to be me in the 1960s

My wife just wanted to be a homemaker and I gave her that. She raised two beautiful and successful daughters, took care of me so I can focus on my job as a U.S. Army soldier and provide for my family. We are now empty nesters and enjoying the fruits of our conservative and Christian values that we followed.

I watched the full speech and I didn't interpret it the way the media is making it out to be. I'm not even catholic or affiliated with any religion for that matter. Butker wasn't forcing women to become homemakers, he said some women will climb the corporate ladder, but he bets the majority of them are excited to become wives and mothers and talked about his wife's experience. It's great to see how much he appreciates his wife unlike some NFL players who are wife beaters. He makes millions a year so his wife doesn't have to work. Don't tons of women dream of being an NFL wife anyway? I forgot to add you can be a mother and still work a job. Lots of people do that this day in age. Oh, and wasn't he delivering a commencement speech at a catholic university where the values are more aligned with his? I might not agree with everything he says, but I'm not at all offended over this.

Agreed.... family is a very important option ❤

So how did his audience react? Looked like a big applause for him!

Why don't we have news like this in the states, Sky News Australia is based!

Ty Bill for defending him

Of course it's a choice but the way it was framed was if you don't prioritize starting a family you'll probably not be as happy as you could've been. Like the implication is that's the correct path when in reality there isn't a "correct" path. Just do what you want and acknowledge people can find happiness in either. He's doing the exact opposite (implies motherhood makes you happier) of what he's correctly criticizing (women being told career chasing makes you happier). Neither makes you happier. Doing what you want/pursuing what you want makes you happy. This was an over correction which is common nowadays. In the attempt to call out silliness people tend to swing back to far to the opposite side.

I’m a man who works 2 jobs and I’m more excited about the kids I bring into this world and the person lm building my life with than my career and I love I do - my work is to make sure my family has what they need and that’s more important, their happiness and quality to life. My purpose is bigger than me when it comes to my family.

Well, all these House Wives tv shows didn't persuade them, maybe this Commencement Speech will 😂

It wasn't a weird time for him to talk about mothers because it was on Mother's Day!

Graduation Is the best time to tell women that they are values regardless of what they choose to do in life and moreover, that homemaker is definitely a an honorable and valid choice to have.

He only knows how to "cry" because he's a kicker.

Not everyone goes to University to get a career. In fact, most universities do not prepare you for a career. Going to University is much like seeing the world before you settle down. For me, it was a place to go until I found my vocation. These days, as complicated as the world has become, a woman would do well to go to university in preparation for motherhood. That is, if the universities would teach parenting to men and women. There is something terribly wrong in a world where getting an education does not include parenting.

Maybe try reading the entire speech next time, including the homophobia and pro-life crap.

I think it comes down to the devaluation of the traditional family unit. No one is advocating for barefoot illiterate pregnant teenage mothers in the kitchen, or opposing women doing what they want to do. It's the idea that the biggest source of pride in your day to day life should be your job, your level of professional achievement. While those are indeed healthy points of pride in ones self and contributes to a persons overall social and mental health as well as their income, how could having built a happy, healthy, and loving family that you get to enjoy everyday possibly be thought of as a lesser acomplishment than a professional achievment? Being a dedicated homemaker is not only hard work, but it's also the most important position in the world for each and every family. The idea that young women have been liberated from a position of domestic servitude (which is actual a position of near ultimate power and authority in a home) to only go on to work in an office is a laughable. Given the opportunity I would love to stay at home and invest my time and effort into my family. It would be a much more rewarding than devoting my precious little time on Earth for the benefit of my boss. I certainly don't feel free, I feel trapped by my career, there's other things I'd rather be doing. But this is only my point of view, if a young woman wants to pursue attainment in the professional world, then why does it seem like the arguement is presented as it has to be one or the other, why can't she have both? Why can't she have a job and start a family, either before, after, or even at the same time? Yes, one would suffer because of the other, but that's life, which is dealing with reality on reality's terms. That's why I continue working, but I always keep thing in perspective, at the end of the day it's just a job, but my family will always be home when I get there, and they are the reason I do what I do. They are the most important thing to me, and I don't see any reason why being a homemaker would be seen as a lesser accomplishment.

Not the guy in the blue suit trying to be a white knight. Just shut up and let the woman talk. You clearly didn’t watch the whole speech just like she pointed out.

It's not a crime to speak your opinion. Just as I feel that Harrison is a moron. Just let people live how they want to live. How hard is that?

Thank you, Newsmax, for properly contextualizing Butker’s remarks amid the distortions and outright lies of liberals and leftists and mainstream media.

The problem is the same people applauding him denigrated Other for kneeling in defense of black peoples being killed by police then were gaslit claiming they were against the military. Also, these are the same people who a yr from know will call women irresponsible for not working to pay off the school loans they just accrued. Even the baby crying in the background knew he was full of $#!+ he should have given this speech to a private high school before these women ( most of who took out loans that they just work to pay back). Also he mention ls vocation but I guarantee you men who think this way foget that people in vocations also take breaks, get vacation time, are allowed to express their opinions about how the job should be run, and are often vocal about their vocation. All of which most men who have “ homemaker” wives don’t want to hear their wives opinions.

Sad that some of the culture somehow sees this guy as some maleficent misogynistic narcissist.

Telling young people how important family is… how dare he! Everyone knows the secret to lasting happiness is to chase success and wealth at the expense of family formation.

He can have any ideals he wants - but to be fair, this was a commencement speech, not a speech to the general community. You are supposed to celebrate the achievement of gaining a degree, not telling people that they have fallen for a lie and wasted the last three or four years of their lives.

Best part of the speech was not a Palestinian flag in sight

Everyone is overlooking the fact that so many women work because they have to. Does Butker think money grows on trees for women to be able to stay home with their children?

Men: What's a 4B Movement 😕🤔

Nothing wrong with what he said. I always wanted to just be a housewife and caught alot of grief for it. Raising kids and being a wife are the most important things there are in life, kids are our future

To my knowledge, Butker has NOT been charged with ANY crimes. He's been exposed as a 16th century misogynist who hates diversity, equity and inclusion as much as he hates the LGBTQIA+ community, but that's not the same thing as being criminally charged. The only words worth a fig in the Bible: Matthew 7:12: "In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets" Luke 6:31: "Do to others as you would have them do to you". These words are the primary tenet of Christianity, and are SO important that they appear TWICE. Christ didn't have room in His heart for hatred and judgement. I'm certain that most women in the audience at Benedictine did not appreciate Butker telling them what their highest calling should be. I know that the Benedictine Nuns have stated that they didn't support the speech...

$120k in tuition is an awful lot of money to learn how to be a full time homemaker. Just sayin'.

There is no big crime with what you quoted he said. The big offense is the holistic context of his mysoginy, homophobia and anti DEI that surrounded his speech!

According to a pew research study, the US has the highest single parent rate in the world.

I’m grateful Bill has the views he does and God has given him the platform to state truth.

The speech that created more Nuns 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The “big crime” is he’s not prepared to give up his career and raise his kids, but expect women to give up their careers and be “homemakers “. It’s the hypocrisy. If he gave up his own career to raise kids, then I’ll think that he actually believes what he says. Expect he hasn’t.

The NFL puts out a good product, but that doesn't mean that their opinion is relevant to society. Basically they are spineless and go along with any view to protect this franchise. Give us football and stay out of politics. Most of us don't care what is their political view.

Better hope the conservative views of other players who are other religions don't ever get out. They would really set liberals off.

I am about done with Bill

Well said Emma, and love the way you stripped away the lies.

Men: What is single and child-free??? 😕

If I had been in that audience I would have nodded my head in complete agreement. I am a college graduate, yet the corporate ladder has never been of interest to me and most of the college educated women I know. I wanted marriage and children far more and for far longer than any career thoughts.

Double standards in real time.

That’s what feminism was supposed to offer. Choices! Not take away any. Instead, when people asked women what they did, if she said homemaker, she was given the side eye. I’ve always hated that. I’m 70 and had a great career. I did not have a wonderful marriage waiting for me upon graduation. I needed to work and was glad, slowly, there were more opportunities than previously offered…teacher, nurse or secretary. Nothing wrong with those professions but more doors needed to be open for women to pursue their futures. The bottom line is, live your life like you (or you and your husband) want to or need to. You only have one. Choose wisely and don’t disparage anyone else’s choices. Btw..I got married and had a daughter. It was later than my friends but it was wonderful and worked out perfectly for us. God has a purpose and a plan for us, to prosper us and not harm us. Let’s keep hands off and let others be free.

I agreed with most of what he said I also understand the outrage though. My mom is a stay at home mom and homeschooled my brother and I and I wish that more women and men understood the value they bring in relationships but sadly not many realize it. In my opinion it is weird how in the United States we almost talk down about and undermine women’s education yet the countries he most likely were referring to with low child out of wedlock rates value education for both genders. So to make a speech like this to women who’s parents or they have just spent a lot of money is kind of unnecessary, insensitive and undermining. Plus in America all of these teachers and parents are saying the children can’t read nor do math and are more behind than ever. Well in many conservative cultures they value education and having an education is basic in their countries. They understand that the mother is going to be your child’s first teacher when she becomes a housewife and whatever traits women have acquired to be successful in our lives and in pursuing our education will be passed down to our children because we all first pair bond with our mothers and pick up little tiny habits from them that make substantial impact in our lives. I also heard an elderly Japanese man say while being interviewed in Japan about the birth and marriage rates that he made sure to say get married to a woman who has an education because your children will be smart too. My parents also said this to me growing up about making sure I have my own credits and education. I’ve also heard this from Arabs, Koreans, Pakistanis, Indians, Chinese, Singaporeans but in America young men and some women are always talking about women being educated is part of the problem when in South Korea planes ✈️ are down so that their sons AND DAUGHTERS pass their exams so that they can get into one of the top universities. They also go through great lengths to help their young people when it comes to their education. Even in the Jewish community women are educated. So you can see how it feels daunting when we see all of these articles on how poorly school children are doing in the states but then we turn around and discourage women from getting a degree only to look to more traditional and conservative cultures and try to strive to emulate what they have going on without actually knowing what they have going on. That’s why in many countries there is no such thing as a gap year or men aren’t staying in college. I’m not at all saying it’s 100% women’s responsibility though I will say some cultures that we so conveniently bring up to prove our point’s understand that the mother is the first teacher so women need an education and life experiences too.

This was a graduation ceremony, though. They celebrated an academic achievement, not what could have been by now or already is. Whatever women chose to do these days is a decision they have to make alone or with their partner. Harrison made that decision with his wife, which is beautiful, but it has nothing to do with the graduation of random strangers. He should have just congratulated them to their achievement, wish them well for their future and be done with it.

I'm a little confused where people are getting the idea that stay at home moms are looked down upon though? Idk, maybe I'm just fortunate enough to have been raised around people who arent judgemental but I haven't been around people who look down upon that. I do think there's a misconception that being a SAHM is less difficult than having a career which I think is untrue. But I haven't seen people act like being a SAHM is some how societally a worse choice. I've seen more of the opposite. I do understand though what the commentator was saying about the lie that you can have both. I would say honestly though that's more a lie pushed by first/second wave feminism- when they were pushing for the right for women to be involved in the workplace. It makes sense that in trying to prove women are good enough to do the same jobs as men, they kind of misrepresented all women as like....totally badass yassss I can do ANYTHING YOU CAN DO AND BETTER! and were like "yeah you can be an involved mom and a careerwoman too." I think you CAN kinda do both, but it's gonna come with a lot of stress. I think current wave feminism though realizes the fact that now that women are more integrated into workplaces, there should be more support for mothers. I dont think modern feminism says "you can do both." it recognizes that it's hard to do both and pushes for more societal/workplace support for working moms (/working parents in general. I also think the idea that a mom should be the one to stay home with the kids is flawed/false. I know traditional catholics believe that cause they believe that's what God wants which is fine if that's how they want to structure their family- but I'm talking about from a secular framework from a child welfare perspective, I don't think it matters which parent does most of the child rearing stuff)

Mahar is always conflicted. He's standing for traditional Christian values while promoting everything left.

"Diabolic lied to" He shouldn't have used these words. It was unnecessary and why even Patrick Mahomes is treating him like a stranger. People can give a good message but certain words or phrase may throw that "good message" to the trash can.

How many of these women have Facebook pages filled with pictures of their coworkers and place of business and bosses rather than pictures of their children? If you want to see where their priorities lie, look at their pages.

Was a great speech!

What he said should be no more controversial than giving someone a Mother's day card 😇👌

These videos might get more views if there was less text. I listen to KZfaq while driving and working. I’m not going to be reading this stuff and neither will a lot of people.

I spent most my life searching , I found what I was looking for when I became a father = I wasted most of my life

Let wokes go mad! That is what they do for a living! 😂

There isnt

Having a family is great. If she gets to stay at home and become a homemaker, great! But remember this speech was made on their graduation. And telling the girls that their life starts when you marry a man is incredibly self centred thing to do. The occasion does not call for this man to devalue all their hardwork the women spent in an effort for that degree! This speech is for the general audiences, not for freshly graduated young females.

Be awake not woke.

I'm so glad I have a husband like Harrison. Harrison never said women shouldn't have careers. I've worked all my adult life, and nothing compares to the satisfaction I have felt being a wife and mother. You silly sad women, I actually feel sorry for you. Unless you get over yourselves, you'll never feel the contentment and joy I feel honoring and, yes, serving my family, especially my husband.

I raised my standards in females. Locally i am expected to be with what use to be Chavs or to accept a really chavvy female. But i am reserving for somebody who had the intelligence to recognise the rarity and difficutly of my ambitions.

People have Mothers. There. I said it. Come arrest me.

Holy snowflakes

Love all the gaslighting, like he didn't basically insinuate one of those choices was much better than the other.

So Bill you're ok with a wife supporting her husband's career but the husband not even seeing it necessary for her to even want one of her own, and you're ok with that?

Big ups to the lady in red. She spoke truth to life. I am a woman, and I love you for that speech.

The problem with Butker's speech is that he posited that the "homemaker" role is the correct role. Not an option. The proper and correct role. Feminism came about because the patriarchy was putting every obstacle possible in the way of women becoming true equals. Butker said the "majority" - not an option.

Men: why do women keep filing for divorce 😂

I stand with Butker!

666 likes🤘 fuck yeah🤘

Some of your will go off to have successful careers, but I would venture to guess.... See what happens when men think 😂

Yall know damn well his wife has a Chef Nanny Maid Butler Chauffeur Trainer Meanwhile the rest of the world is to live like James and Florida Evans

Critical thinking is a thing of the past.

Did anyone take the time to look up DIABOLICAL??? Maybe we should start there 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

The problem is telling women what they should be doing and that they were “lied to”. women should support men’s dreams? WTF? What about women’s dreams??

Madness

Bill Maher always acts like he's the smartest guy in the room, but in truth he just has an air of smugness while knowing very little.

Someone needed to say it.

Feminism has gone too far

BUTKER JERSEY -- OFFICIAL GEAR FOR TRADITIONAL FAMILIES

Why would he venture to guess that??? Is becoming a Nun an option???

Trump 2024, and end the madness

Why did he have to single out women? Men aren't excited to start a family after they graduate? He never said he was. I think he was more about sending his political message then being empathetic.

Being a wife and mother has been the best part of my life. If I had had a choice I would’ve been a stay at home mum but I had to work. Now I’m enjoying my grandchildren. Nothing replaces it. Feminists destroyed families and that’s why society is such a mess now. Go Harrison Butler 👏🏻

So Bill you're ok with the wives not having their own career and goals in exchange for the husband having his?

The same psychopath Butker who was on Grindr LOL

Bill Maher hit the nail on the head. Hypocrisy abounds on the left.

That last guy ranting about parenthood probably believes in birthing persons and men can have periods. Women have a finite amount of time to have children and many have put their careers first because that's what they have been told they must do to be considered successful only later to find out its too late to have children or men no longer want a woman in her forties that they cant start a family with.
