[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well his jersey is the number one selling jersey, so it means people don’t care about woke BS and support family values.

The city of KC doxxed him and no charges are being filed against the people who did and they’re getting fired at the very least.

[b]Most men and married people are supporting what he said and we no issues.[/b]

So I hope he stays kicking in the NFL for a long time, but with a team in a city who won’t try to have him harmed.

Oh and this supposed mass exodus of women who are going to not watch the NFL now…ok…no women were anyways [/quote]

Really? "Most women and married people are supporting what he said"? Where is that? I'm pretty sure you don't speak for "most women and married people." [/quote]

Well I am a married feminist wife and mother and I have no issues with what he said.

Is it really so wrong for a woman to choose to stay at home and raise kids? [/quote]

“I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you,” Butker 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.”

No feminist agrees with what he says.  Feminists believe women make their own path, and that is up to each individual woman. He never articulates specific diabolical lies, he merely implicates women with careers.  And who says "most excited about your marriage" as if it's already in the works?  Awful rhetoric.

My husband would say being a husband and dad are the most important parts of his life, but Buttkcker isn't going around reminding men of that.  Because he doesn't see strong men in the workforce as a threat.  He does see strong women as such, no question.

And some women’s path is to stay home and raise children.

I have known several high powered women (law firm partners, etc) who have said literally the same thing - their children and family are the most important thing in their lives. Buetker also did say that regarding himself in his remarks. Did you even listen to the entire thing? [/quote]
Did he say men's true vocation started when they became husbands and fathers?  I might agree with you if he said the exact same things to men, but he didn't. He told men to embrace their masculinity (whatever that means).[/quote]
[b]
He said most of modern society's ills are due to men not pulling their weight inside the home.[/b] If he said about women what he said about men in that speech, the entire feminist braintrust of America would have imploded and become a back hole, hovering over Oberlin, sucking in all in its orbit to eternal doom. [/quote]

I didn't hear him say that men should be free to choose to be homemakers just like women do, that this should be a choice any parent can make. Where did you hear that?[/quote]

Listened to the entire speech. Not edited clips. He spent most of the speech talking about men's duties at home. He didn't say they should be free to be homemakers. He said men not being involved in home life is causing social ills like a rise in violence. [/quote]

I'm pretty sure it's actually the guns.[/quote]

Lots of societies have guns. Not many societies are as violent as ours. Fatherlessness is strongly correlated with terrible life outcomes. I had a deadbeat dad, and I think we need more men that insist that masculinity is about responsibility. I suspect the people reacting to this speech for the crime of not parroting the "yaas kings and queens, go get some money" line are not actually aware of how terrible bad family lives are for kids.
