00:00If you haven't heard Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker's thought on women, let me
00:04give you a quick recap before showing you a video of a reporter slaughtering his outdated
00:09and narrowly stereotypical stances with a hilarious comeback.
00:14Butker says his wife's life didn't truly start until after they got married and had children.
00:19Talk about a big ego, but that's not the only thing happening here.
00:22Butker believes that a woman's worth is primarily tied to her ability to fulfill traditional
00:26roles of marriage and motherhood, rather than recognizing their individual accomplishments
00:31and aspirations and potential outside of being a trophy wife and soccer mom.
00:36And he boldly shared that with a graduating class full of women celebrating their academic
00:40achievements and ready to tackle diverse opportunities outside of cooking, cleaning, and changing
00:46dirty diapers.
00:47He had one job to do at Benedictine College, encourage those graduates, regardless of gender,
00:53to pursue their passions, dreams, and goals, rather than pushing the female grads into
00:57giving into restrictive societal expectations.
01:01And after downplaying women's value, he tried to throw his teammate's girlfriend, Taylor
01:05Swift into it, the pop star who makes music about women empowerment, the exact opposite
01:11of what Butker's speech embodied.
01:13But look at this reporter's response at his mess of a commencement speech.
01:17The only thing it lacked was a mic drop.
01:20Women have told everyone to just fuck off.
01:26Tired of being judged for choosing to have children or not have children, to have children
01:30and go back to work, to have children and not go back to work, for being too thin, too
01:34fat, too pushy, too unambitious, too hot, not hot enough, or even for just daring to
01:39be alive, women have stressed that everyone can go fuck themselves.
01:51Nathan Muir has been gauging the reaction, because apparently a man is the best person
01:56to report this story.
01:59If you have a vagina, people have the right to judge you on every single thing you do.
02:05Even what you do with your vagina.
02:07Or so it has been up until now.
02:10I spoke to one of womankind, or the clitorati, as no one is calling them, about their backlash.
02:19Enough's enough.
02:20The message is clear, and the messages you write, we will do as you command.
02:26Just kidding, it's fuck off.
02:30That's all from me.
02:37Well said.
02:38This reporter said exactly what we all were thinking, but in the best way possible.
02:42We are not alone on his eye rolling worthy speech that even the NFL is distancing itself
02:47from.
02:48We hate that the college failed to find someone who could provide motivation and genuine inspiration
02:53to those graduates.
02:54Instead, they settled with a man who insulted the women waiting to flip their tassels as
02:59well as LGBT plus students.
03:02Not only did he directly suggest to the women grads that the only thing they should strive
03:06for is being a homemaker, he also attacked the LGBT plus community by calling Pride Month
03:11a deadly sin, and also said that the community promotes dangerous gender ideologies.
03:17His outdated and unrequested opinions about women, the LGBT plus community, and even the
03:23COVID-19 pandemic could have been left in his drafts, but instead he chose to share
03:28them and ruin a graduation ceremony.
03:30Shame on him.
03:32His remarks belittling the potential of women along with his disrespectful comments toward
03:36the LGBT plus community clash with the spirit of empowerment and celebration that should
03:42have defined the occasion.
