[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were offered fed by his speech that’s fine it wasn’t intended for you.

The reaction he got from his intended audience was overwhelmingly positive.

He’s a Christian, who gave a speech full of Christian values to a Christian college with Christian students. Both women and men were in the crowd and he got a standing ovation. If you’re offended it’s because you’re were the intended audience or you’re. It ready to come to terms with what he was saying is truth.  He wasn’t saying that a women’s only purpose was to be in the kitchen as you might have seen in the 60 second edited clip of his full 20-30 min speech.  He addressed men as well and said how important their role was as well. He spoke truth to the fact that most people will find more value in their family life than anything else because the people you love and care about are more important than any degree.

The only ones mad or pressed about this is the man-hating women who seem to be in abundance here and on social media, and the sycophantic men who are trying to preach feminism in order to try to get dates.  Most everyone else who works, strives to be better and have a family see what he said as a basic truth and something they agree with in terms of values.

Those who disagree can have their viewpoint but it doesn’t matter, he wasn’t speaking to you or about you so you can go on knowing that.  It doesn’t matter how many “I will chose the bear over the man” memes you post in your social media, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re not the one he or any of the people who likes his speech would be looking at for a relationship anyways

No. He gave the speech to a mainstream CATHOLIC college with a diverse student body, hectoring them with an extremely fringe orthodox view of Catholicism. That is why the actual Benedictine nuns connected to the college issued their statement against the speech. And many students were offended: https://www.newspressnow.com/news/local_news/education/benedictine-graduates-share-thoughts-on-butker-speech/article_f5d958c2-1492-11ef-9ceb-a777f7771cdf.html

I’m curious about whether the content of his speech was a surprise or if there are Opus Dei moles in the administration. In any event, whoever decided to turn graduation into a divisive political spectacle bound to offend a large proportion of the class should be ashamed. [/quote]

DP.  Your assertion that "many students were offended" is quite funny, considering one offended person was quoted in the article.  Do better.[/quote]

I didn't read this article. I've read several others discussing their offense. It was more than a few who were upset.[/quote]
