Butker's speech at the Benedictine College in Kansas'It is safe to say that over the years, I have gained quite the reputation for speaking my mind,' Butker said at the start of his speech.He addressed the men in the room by saying: 'To the gentlemen here today, part of what plagues society is this lie that has been told to you that men are not necessary in the home or in our communities. 'As men, we set the tone of the culture, and when that is absent, disorder, dysfunction and chaos set in. 'This absence of men in the home is what plays a large role in the violence we see all around the nation.'... Be unapologetic in your masculinity. Fight against the cultural emasculation of men. Do hard things. Never settle for what is easy.'Butker even quoted Taylor Swift, although he only referred to her as his 'teammate's girlfriend'.'As my teammate's girlfriend says, 'familiarity breeds contempt',' he told the audience, referring to Swift's song Bejeweled from her 2022 album Midnights. He also addressed the women at the ceremony: 'I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolic lies told to you. 'Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world. 'I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say her life truly started when she started living her vocation as a wife and as a mother. 'I'm on this stage today, able to be the man that I am, because I have a wife who leans into her vocation.''I'm beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all, homemaker.'Butker also criticised the Biden administration: 'While COVID might have played a large role throughout your formative years, it is not unique,' he said. 'The bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues. 'Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for the degenerate cultural values and media all stem from pervasiveness of disorder.'
I don't see anything wrong with what he said. In the land of lies, the man who speaks the truth is a radical.
