As a woman who came of age (18) in the early ‘70’s, I can see now how my generation was so indoctrinated to believe that a career and work was tg3 path to happiness. My parents, who grew up during the depression, had no response for me that could change my mind. I told my mother once, “I don’t want to be a mother like you.” I didn’t know any women with careers, but I didn’t want to have to ask for grocery money, have no spending parity, have my homemaker efforts go unnoticed and endlessly repeated. My dad was a good man but he didn’t know how to be a partner any more than my mother, who was passive aggressive and not confident to voice her needs. I got married at age 20 and had a family but divorced at the end of my 20’s and went to school, earning a BA, an MA, and a JD. As if the years I felt suppressed as a stay home mom made me desperate for as much education as I could get. I look back after 25 years as a lawyer and small business owner, now retired from that, and newly baptized Catholic. The Butker speech resonated with me. I would love a do over but life doesn’t work that way. I hope he keeps giving this speech, over and over. Young women and young men (who have been terribly demonized by my generation of toxic feminists) need to hear this before more generations are poisoned by the Marxist propaganda.

The Butker bleaters are deafeningly silent on the Diddy kicking though … not a peep out of them
