I Want My Wife to Be a Homemaker

White Christian Nationalist women are hot. They also make great trad wives. Maybe Harrison Butker is onto something.

Too bad the football player who gave that homemaker commencement speech at Benedictine College had a name that started with but. Because the dude made some mighty fine points, which didn’t receive the thoughtful consideration they deserved.

Probably his name had something to do with the dissing that followed soon after. And the calls to cancel him from everything, including the one thing he’s actually good at — football.

What’s in a name, asked Shakespeare? Plenty. I mean, come on. Butthead, buttinsky, butthole, butt-face, butt-kisser, and just plain butt.

And that’s too bad.

If a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, Harrison Butker’s commencement speech produces its own unique bouquet. But apparently not everyone can appreciate its aroma.

Why is everyone so upset that the dude wants his wife to be a homemaker? And that he encouraged young Catholic women graduating from Benedictine College to see their true calling as wives and mothers?
