re: Chief's Harrison Butker delivers an unforgettable commencement address

The sisters of Mount St. Scholastica, who describe their group as a founding institution and sponsor of Benedictine College, just shared a statement about the professional football player's speech, saying his comments don't “represent the Catholic, Benedictine, liberal arts college that our founders envisioned and in which we have been so invested."

If you read the complete statement from the Sisters, apparently they didn't like Butker telling the young women graduates of Benedictine College that being a homemaker is one of the most important titles a woman can hold, Butker didn't say it was the most important title, he said one of the most important titles a woman can hold.

What Butker was trying to convey to the young women graduates is to not let anyone tell you that you're not successful or vitally important to the fabric of society by making a decision to be a homemaker vs chasing and climbing the corporate ladder in the corporate rat race, Butker isn't wrong.

If a man can provide for a family and allow the woman to stay home with the children for nurturing and influence, something they would never receive from a daycare provider that's a win for society. Butker was giving an opinion based on lived experience, there's likely good data that would support Butker's opinion. Anecdotal evidence is certainly in Butker's favor, look at society today compared to society in the 50's-70's and then ask yourself why society has degraded so much from that period to the society of today and you will see the destruction of the nuclear family goes lockstep with the degradation of society, particularly the destruction of the black family, where +70% of black children are born out of wedlock, many of these black children are deprived of a positive male role model.

I guess this ^^^^ went over the Sister's heads.

Probably had a lot to do with the export of 10s of millions of jobs chasing cheaper and cheaper labor.

Hard to maintain that type of society when the bedrock foundation of the middle class gets completely gutted.

Exacrly. The fems and beta males claiming he told women to get in the kitchen is the best

I couldn't imagine my wife being a "home maker", just like I couldn't be one myself. We share the pride and responsibility of keeping our house and excelling in our careers.

Wtf I'd kill to be a stay at home dad, especially in a nice house with a nice car. I'd be even more thrilled to provide this lifestyle for the mother of my children.

Millions of women and men would like to be the stay at home parent so they can be the primary influence in their children's lives, unfortunately the materialistic desires promoted by our comsumer base society convinces parents that driving late model cars, owning a McMansion, taking lavish vacations, having the latest iPhone and tech gadgetry, etc. prevents them from living a more modest lifestyle that would allow them to leave one parent in the household.

Nice job, SW!

Another victim of feminism. These orders are dying. Vocations are thriving in cloistered/contemplative orders.

I find it ironic that the most honored person in the church is a….MOTHER!
Thanks be to God, Mary embraced her roll as “mother”. You have to wonder if Mary lived today, would she be encourage to say “no” to motherhood, since it is so suppressive of women.

Bill Maher and Whoopi Goldberg are both team Buttkicker
