Idiot boy footballer tells women to get back in kitchen

Amazing that in the 21st century, dinosaurs still lurk among us. This was especially in appalling taste because the remarks were made at a graduation.
Unsurprisingly, his remarks have earned him widespread criticism.

The NFL is distancing itself from controversial comments by Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker during a recent commencement address.
In addition to calling Pride Month a "deadly sin" and bemoaning diversity and equity initiatives (DEI), Butker set off waves of criticism when he suggested women find more fulfillment through getting married and having children than by pursuing careers - directly after quoting a song by Taylor Swift.
The backlash has been building since Butker made the comments on Saturday in an address to graduates at Benedictine College, a small Catholic school in Atchison, Kansas. The NFL issued a statement on Wednesday, saying Butker's comments don't reflect the views of the league.
However, plenty of women (and Taylor Swift fans) have made their feelings plainly known.
That could keep Butker's social media feeds clogged with criticism for the foreseeable future.
In front of the crowd of about 485 male and female graduates, Butker suggested a woman's accomplishments as a "homemaker" are more valuable than any academic or professional goals.
"I want to speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you," he said.
"How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? 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 also praised his wife Isabelle, saying she "would be the first to say her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother".
Judging from the hundreds upon hundreds of critical comments on Butker's Instagram posts and about him on X and TikTok, his remarks did not sit well with many people.
"This wasn't a case of foot-in-mouth. It was a well-prepared speech," wrote columnist Sam McDowell in the Kansas City Star. "Women listening in the audience, rather than being rewarded with a diploma on graduation day, were made to listen as he promoted the role of homemaker - not as an acceptable choice but as their duty as a husband's servant."
Commenters and social influencers also picked up on another piece of information that appears at odds with Butker's worldview. His mother, Elizabeth Keller Butker, is a medical physicist at Emory University's Winship Cancer Institute in Atlanta and holds, among other academic accolades, a degree in chemistry from Smith College, a private women's liberal arts college in Massachusetts.
