Harrison Butker Doubles Down on His ‘Very Intentional’ Comments

Butker said to women graduating that a woman’s job is to be a mother and wife, stating that is when life “truly starts,” among other controversial comments.

In his May speech at Benedictine, a private, Catholic liberal arts school in Atchison, Kansas, Butker said the women receiving their degrees were most likely more excited to get married and have children, criticized President Joe Biden for his stance on abortion and his handling of the COVID pandemic, and went after Catholic leaders who he said were “pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America,” while describing Pride Month as a “deadly sin.” Elle Wilbers, 22, who is heading to medical school, said she was shocked by Butker’s criticism of priests and bishops and his reference to the LGBTQ+ community, which she described as “horrible.” These women have made a tremendous difference in the world in their roles as wives and mothers and through their God-given gifts in leadership, scholarship, and their careers.”
