Groups of college women all across the US protested the controversial comments by Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker during a recent commencement address. In addition to calling Pride Month a “deadly sin” and bemoaning diversity and equity initiatives, Butker set off waves of criticism when he suggested that women find more fulfillment through getting married and having children than by pursuing careers – directly after quoting a song by Taylor Swift.
Conservative voices have praised Butker’s speech for being “100% correct” and for reflecting his self-professed deep Catholic faith. However, his reference to Swift — a childless, unmarried superstar and feminist figure who by Butker’s own definition is not living up to her potential — has prompted additional outcry.
"Did he like, just, like, criticize Taylor?" asked a bewildered female college student at the Catholic school. "How, is that like, even possible? Like, he is so, like divisive, Like I feel like he does not, like, represent, like, the inclusivity of like my faith. Like, he should be like banned from society!"
Even the Pope chimed in saying, "Butker is a wall builder, and as such is subsequently hereby excommunicated from the Catholic church. He has aroused division that has caused many to become offended, Who does he think he is, Jesus Christ? And did he like, criticize "The Taylor' like that is like totally unacceptable?"
But it got worse at Columbia university as throngs of students built encampments all across the campus to protest the commencement speech of Butker, citing his unacceptable stance on gay marriage and women willingly giving themselves to a Patriarchal culture of submission to the toxic culture of men. However, women at the protest later donned hijabs to protest for Hamas chanting gas the Jews!"
