I thought the phrasing he used came off a little stupid, making it sound like 'a women's place is in the home', which as I heard clips on the radio I don't think that's what he said. He seemed to say don't dismiss it, because you may be happier. Someone wrote that he said something similar when he talked about men chasing careers.
I don't agree with much of the catholic doctrine (buffet-style Lutheran here) but don't fault him for sticking to it. I sort of admire him for that much.
Dude gave his opinion. Big whoop. I don't get the angst.
I have five sisters who have enjoyed their successful professional careers for the most part. And would scoff at Butker. But surely him giving his views would not affect theirs or their daughters lives. One sister did give up a good financial career her degree from IU was in, to stay home with the kids. But they were well enough off to do so, and her husband was Catholic and eventually she converted from Lutheran, now that I recall that part. Her and husband were both very liberal, 100% dem all the way though, probably would've laughed at Butker. So maybe even though he seemed very devout, maybe some of the teachings they disagreed with.
Oh, and I just realized his comments were at commencement for a CATHOLIC school? So what was his talk supposed to be on, priests not diddling little boys? (That would be more appropriate at Penn State maybe.)
