On May 11, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker gave the commencement speech to Benedictine College graduates. In a speech at a private Catholic liberal arts college in Kansas, he suggested Pride Month was a “mortal sin,” denounced abortion rights and told women they had been told “the most diabolical lie.” (after quoting Taylor Swift, who of course sang it at the beginning of his speech).
He went on to talk about his wife Isabelle, claiming that she was the first to tell him that her life “really began when she began to fulfill her duties as a wife and mother,” and that he believed she was his own. He said he was able to become the person he wanted to be. That's because his wife had accepted one of the most important titles: housewife.
Harrison's speech not only drew a direct response from the NFL, which said his views were not those of the NFL as an organization, but also sparked widespread backlash from people across the country. But while many expressed their distaste for the commencement address on their personal social media accounts, the women took to the Kansas City Chiefs' Instagram account directly to comment on their “femininity.” People are starting to leave sarcastic comments. Brutal in the best possible way.
1.
Here are some of the top comments left on Chief's Instagram posts. For example, this woman's comment about her sadness that she will no longer be able to compete because of her “true calling.”
2.
Or a woman who says her life hasn't started because she hasn't married a man yet.
3.
Snack time seems to be important to this couple.
Four.
This commenter also wants clarification.
Five.
Are there any women watching men on TV? Not in this house.
6.
Sorry, I have to skip the game. A call is coming from the kitchen.
7.
Perhaps this person's husband is a kind person and will allow it. I wish him success.
8.
Who needs thoughts when you have a husband?
9.
Look, $1.84 isn't worth anything.
Ten.
I would be worried too.
11.
This woman does not believe that she is considered “living” before marriage.
12.
Men are also worried about what they can do for their wives.
13.
At least this man is honest about his wife's “abilities.”
14.
That's a valid question.
15.
Finally, does anyone know the answer to this question?
