YES!! it has to be a choice and women must have the right to have the choice to pursue a professional career of be a homemaker. I agree 100. Most women have BOTH roles... and it is exhausting!

Good review, i love that you didn't just "hate watch" this and went in with an open mind. My own two cents is that since Butker is obviously pretty smart, there is no denying that he 100% knew what he said. Meaning that he didn't say anything by accident or that people twisted his words into something else entirely. Everything that sounded bad and concerning here are words that he himself carefully thought out for who knows how many days for his speech and they truly do reflect his own views on things. At some point he clearly forgot the place he is giving this speech and the text ended mostly attacking things he doesn't like/how things should be in his mind instead of encouraging other people to do great things.

thank you! I agree that the speech was so meticulously worded that all of it had to be intentional, there is no denying the general message when you listen to the speech as a whole ..it just sunk in with me later that the reason his wife 'had to give up her dream' (as he said), and no mention of future possibilities of any ambitions outside of the home for his wife, was because they do not believe in birth control or choosing the size of your family

Thank heavens the channel name 'female' is an accident. You are smart, and I hope you do understand the power of a word's connotation. It's a part of the meaning...it might negatively affect your growth. Anyways, it's your channel, and I like your takes.

thank you!! I appreciate your input on the channel name, and have thought about whether I should start a new channel and use a better translation, not sure ..maybe the current channel name could be turned around as a self-deprecating joke?

Yeah... you rarely see catholic women who give these kinds of speeches. Which I think says a LOT. I equally don't want to disrespect people's beliefs or personal couple/home dynamics. But if you are advocating for everyone else to adopt these same values in the name of God or some other deity or group of deity, it sits uncomfortably with me because it does perpetuate an old sexist system that we have tried so hard to break out of and that we're still having to fight against. I feel how you live your life religiously and morally is something you need to work out as an individual with you and your god. It shouldn't be dictated to you. In my personal opinion. At least not from a public platform. I'd like to say the UK is secular. Well, we definitely are more than 50 years ago lets say. But a lot of primary schools are still church of england based and we still run carol services and have to do easter services in the nearby church for them and that. At least when I was in school. So I suppose it's secular with a christian protestant influence. But I've always grown up questioning religion. I've never ubderstood that if I'm meant to have some sort of relationship with God. Why is this priest or person telling me how they think I should live my life? Like you say, being a homemaker is nothing to be ashamed of. But it's not shameful to question the system and ask why can't the man be the homemaker? Why can't they share the homemaker role so they can both advance their career? I think in general women should have a secondary skill they can fall back on even if they want to be a stay at home mum or even homemaker. Because either of those roles relies on the husband to provide. And even if that marriage goes perfectly with no divorce or anything like that. The husband could be taken unexpectedly by illness or an accident. And then, the wife has to rely on relatives if they have any or in the case of a lot of them has to struggle to find a job to support your children. It's just good sense to make sure that happens so you can look after your family in the event that your husband cannot provide financially for whatever reason. And I think men need to embrace that. Even if they're men of faith. In fact, especially men of faith need to include that possibility. Because by their own beliefs if God does something like that it's part of some plan, so they need to prepare in case God comes to test them.

I, too, have often questioned organised religion, both in principle (as in, should faith not be something between the individual and their god?) but also in terms of the abuse of power that can and does happen within most large organisations ..and I fully agree that homemakers (whether it's a woman or a man) should have a backup plan, something to fall back on should anything with their current setup go wrong ..in regard to your last paragraph: for some, unfortunately, it seems the answer lies within 'simply' remarrying should something happen to your spouse

Ok the whole thing with female being offensive... It REALLY depends. Because some people just say it's not proper grammar to just say female when you're an adult because female can be adult or child. In which people should say woman if they're an adult. Then apparantly there are spaces where men or certain people call adult males 'men' and adult females 'female'. And some people find that offensive because it can come off as dehumanising in the sense that men are made to be the default of humanity and women are not seen as equal so much that the word women is not even used. Which I kind of get. Some men, intentional or not do play into sexism. I don't think you're being offensive in the slightest by using the name 'Random Female'. It's accurate. It's identifiable. And it's you using it for yourself. It's not a male trying to use female like a slur which is where I think the offence comes from. Of course this is from a quick google search. Prior to this I don't find female offensive in the slightest. If anything I personally liked it better than having to use terms like woman, or girl, or madam or Ma'am or lady etc. I feel it's the closest word that is closest to saying you're human but with the binary designation of female. (Which some obviously reject and that's fine)

Thank you! It just kind of popped into my head when I filmed this video that I had heard something about 'female' being specifically used by the likes of Andrew Tate etc, which makes sense in the context that you explained.
