Family is a Great Option

I do not follow football (American nor otherwise). The first time I heard the name Harrison Butker was due to his speech before a Catholic student body. He stated in summary that women could be excited about careers, and they were likely to be excited about family life. The internet went crazy calling him all manner of nonsense that I shall refrain from repeating on this forum.

The essence of the controversy is that he offered an option to women of family life. Why is this option thought to be oppressive or troublesome? Kim Chernin wrote that she wished women to have an option other than homemaking, not that she wished women were prevented from homemaking. This is how silly the Left has become: in their stated purpose they profess a commitment to choice, acceptance, and diversity. In reality, the Left wishes for strict adherence to their perceived cultural norms. They don’t want choice: they want women who ONLY work outside the home. They don’t want acceptance: they want to rid the world of religious freedom. They don’t want diversity: they want people to think and behave as they do.

The position of the Left is, of course, indefensible which is why their outrage over these statements is in a full-swing backfire. First and foremost, as stated above, women have a choice to be homemakers, and they Left cannot take that choice away.

Further, we are speaking about a Catholic man, who lives his faith each and every day. That Catholic man went on to find a Catholic woman who lives her faith each and every day. They then, together, went on to have Catholic children who live their faith each and every day. This man then went to a private Catholic University to speak about what it says in the Catholic manual (the Bible). If you do not want to hear Catholic things, maybe you should stop listening to Catholic discussions.

This is a clear attack on the 1st Amendment. The Left is constantly attacking the 1st Amendment. They would love nothing more than to rid the nation of the 1st, 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments (the other liberties would surely be taken by force thereafter). This is the play. Free speech is only afforded to those whom the Left finds “deserving”. The only religions allowed are race, climate, gender, and communism.

I am most excited about my family life. My career is a means to an end, my career is not the end. Why is it so horrible to wish this same level of happiness and fulfillment for women? Family is a Great Option.
