Controversial Call to Homemaking

culture's reactions to basic truths

In chemistry labs, reactions reveal the properties of substances. In culture, social media is the lab revealing hearts and minds as they react to ideas and events.

This week cultural reactions began in earnest in response to Harrison Butker’s commencement address at Benedictine College. Butker is the 28-year-old kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs. The controversy? His bold encouragement to women to highly value the vocation of being a wife and mother (start at the 12:00 mark).

“You, the women, have had the most diabolical lies told to you,” Butker shared referring to the false expectation of looking to promotions, career, and achievements for fulfillment.
