This 100%! The happiest women are those who are wage slaves to corporations who extort their labor and then lay them off in their 50s when they’re no longer needed. It’s so more rewarding to work for people who could care less if you got cancer or died if it didn’t impact their bottom line than spending more time with family members who love you. USA! USA!

You all have swallowed this capitalist BS hook line and sinker.


I am a teacher. Do you want us to stay home, too?


It's your choice.

Whoa…. Slow down people, my only question (once again) is that even if we agree with him for a minute, what does he propose to make it happen?

It’s fine and dandy as a multimillionaire to preach such things but with the price of living right now, groceries anyone? mortgage rates? college? majority families don’t have the option to have the mom stay at home. There are no supports being provided by conservatives to encourage “family unit”, only thing I hear is lecture. Start by making life more affordable on one income and then we can talk.

How out of touch you have to be to get on the podium and assume that everyone has the same options and privilege as you!

He has mommy issues. I'm sure of it.


It's quite telling about your mental health that you are so triggered by what some random guy said about something that does not affect you.

P Diddy isn't participating in our current cultural wars by doling out RW talking points cloaked as life advice.



Interesting. Because, neither is Butker.
He is simply praising and commending those who choose to have children and raise children - BOTH men and women.
I guess you are not a fan of childrearing.



I guess the butlicker kicker is not a fan of child rearing or family life since he has a job that pulls him away from family life August - February.


I guess you didn’t bother to listen:

To the gentlemen here today: Part of what plagues our society is this lie that has been told to you that men are not necessary in the home or in our communities. As men, we set the tone of the culture, and when that is absent, disorder, dysfunction, and chaos set in. This absence of men in the home is what plays a large role in the violence we see all around the nation. Other countries do not have nearly the same absentee father rates as we find here in the U.S., and a correlation could be made in their drastically lower violence rates, as well.


Then why did he choose a profession that calls him away from home months on end?

LOL what a dummy and hypocrite, him and you all who agree with him.


WTF? He lives in the city where he plays. What makes you think he is away from home for months on end?

It's the same as being a "weekend" dad who thinks taking his child to the park and supermarket is parenting.

Isn't it wonderful to be so keenly aware of the life circumstances of someone you had never even heard of a week ago?
You are so special.

Actually I have read the speech many times

This is the most alarming part, he is right, dads need to be more present. There should not be pressure on men to have jobs that take them away from their family for hours/weeks/months essentially leaving moms to raise their kids alone.

This is one reason often 2 parents working in a normal family is ideal.

Also, he says 'absent men" play a large role in violence....yet he is never home! He has chosen a career where he will never be with his kids on the weekends when families should come together. He will rarely coach his kids football team, or go to mass with them on Sunday morning, or get donuts after mass.

He is an absent father.


So it’s never okay to be employed by the NFL or only if your spouse works?


It’s not ok to be employed by the NFL making millions while stating at a college graduation ceremony to the graduating women that a woman’s life starts when she gets married and has children, that the idea of having satisfaction from having a career is a diabolic lie and so on. Then he should practices what he preaches, go work as an engineer from 9 to 5, be home for dinner, take his kids out every weekend and so on.

+1 practice what you preach. So sad how you people who agree with him don't see that.

But just for men, right?
Women will should never experience career accomplishment satisfaction or focus on a passion outside of the home.
Because their lives are solely defined by how they serve their husband and families.

There is no such thing as a successful working mom (or dad). Kids are being raised by someone who is likely not minding their own kids because they have to watch another working mom's kids. Outsourcing parenting, especially when kids are young, doesn't make one a successful working mom or dad.


The Boomer generation is proof that staying home to raise children doesn’t make you a successful parent, either. There is so much psychological damage in this generation from being raised by people that had to pop Valium and start cocktails promptly at 5 pm just to get through the tedium of their days. And that was when this society valued women as homemakers as much as they ever did or would.


Have you ever heard of something called work happy hours? Let me be the first to break the news to you: people who work 9-5 jobs aren’t happy and drink and pop pills to drown their misery as well.
