[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly is the "diabolical lie" he was referring to?[/quote]

The lie: That women who work will feel fulfilled,

The truth, according to kicker buttlicker: when in actuality it doesn’t matter how many lives a teacher touches, or how many live a female surgeon saves…. Her life starts when she markets her H.[/quote]
I love my children.. I really really do. They are amazing people. But, I would be bored af if being a mother was the only thing I had to look forward to in life.

Yes, being a parent is more important than a career, but he doesn't tell men that. He tells women to focus on the family, while men lean into their masculinity, whatever that means.  He leans on his wife to manage the family so that he could play the masculine role.[/quote]

I don’t think that being a parent is more important than a career or even a job.

Here is a test. You and your H quit your jobs. Then tell me how important they are.[/quote]
PP here.. That's not what he's saying. He's saying don't focus so much on your career that you don't have time to be good parents.

Nevertheless, I disagree with him about my "vocation" starting when I got married and had kids.

I didn't get married until I was 33.  When I was 30, my mother said to me, "By the time I was your age I had four kids.".  To which I responded, "If I had four kids right now I'd kill myself.".  I mean not literally, but you get the gist.  I was not ready to have kids at 30.  I needed to work on my mental/emotional health before I was ready to have kids, and I wasn't even sure I wanted kids.

Too many people having kids when they shouldn't, especially the men. They don't want the actual responsibility of raising children. It doesn't matter how much Butkiss tells them they should "lean into their masculinity".. whatever the f* that means.[/quote]

Yet there he is with a career that has him completely out of his family’s life August-February and off season he’s running around doing media instead of being with his family.

He also said that it’s unnatural to tell your spouse you can’t have sex if you don’t want to  because you are ovulating… and no other birth control.[/quote]
