@kluurs said in Butker calls it out.:
He's getting trashed on Tik Tok (younger crowd) primarily for encouraging women to quit the workforce and be moms at a commencement ceremony. It was pointed out that he has quite a nice home with 2 kitchens - and seems tone deaf when most Americans can't survive on a single salary. He was also beaten up a bit for what some felt were unnecessary attacks against the gay community. This and the Met Gala are hot topics right now with the villagers wanting to storm the castle and cancel elite rich people flaunting privilege while people are struggling
through Biden's robust economy.Here’s the thing, there is very much a chicken/egg thing here. As more women entered the workplace in the 70s and 80s, there was a significant increase in the labor pool, suppressing wages. The suppressed wages forces families where the mother doesn’t want to be in the workforce into the labor pool by necessity. Now it’s generally accepted that families require two incomes.
If a sizeable portion of women chose to leave or not enter the workforce, then labor rates would have to rise as employers would have to be more competitive for qualified candidates.

Just another know-it-all celebrity pontificating about things outside his area of expertise.
Yes but he’s not some low IQ artist, actor, writer or musician. Rather he’s a professional athlete, specifically an All Star American football player, a modern day Maximus Decimus. A genuine crowd pleaser.
That's funny.
When I read JDs post about pontificating, I thought he was talking about himself. Now I see the ambiguity.

True, I know bugger all about American football, other than it has four downs not three. I do know however a tiny bit about the popularity of the Russell Crowe character in Gladiator. Sorry to learn that you see the ambiguity. Do you hear voices too? If so, you may want to have those checked out by a professional..

It's nice to know that I'm a celebrity in your head. I have some memorabilia for sale if you're interested. Only slightly soiled.

From his speech
I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.

Dont Catholics believe that life starts at conception? So is he okay with abortion until someone gets married and has kids?

How about this one:
At its core, feminism is the belief that women deserve equal social, economic, and political rights and freedoms.

That's what happens when someone mentions the traditional roles of men and women and doesn't get an eye roll in return.
It's OK if men live their lives like men traditionally have and women live their lives like women traditionally have.
And of course if men act like women and women act like men that is absolutely wonderful too.

I agree with that. But he was the one who said it. But if she did say, I still think its weird.
What if one of your kids said, "Before I got married. No wait, even though i was married but didnt have kids, my life was nothing."
"So, the time you spent growing up with loving parents, the wisdom they gave you, the nurturing, etc. means nothing to you?"
"Correct. My life did not begin until I was married and had kids"

(Joke joke Joke)That’s not what he said. He said her life’s vocation. Her life’s work that she wants/needs to accomplish.
