Seems like someone deleted this after it got posted, so let’s call out this piece of shit. Apologies if repost.

“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…”

The worst part is that he was saying this to a bunch of women who just graduated with degrees. He’s basically telling them all to give up after putting in 4+ years of work. This guy is a total shit bag.

It's a football meathead speaking his dumb meathead thoughts, just garbage to toss out basically. Sad that his dumb thoughts were published though. Outrage journalism has lowered the bar for society pretty significantly.

Blaming journalism for reporting what this guy said at a graduation ceremony is fucking hilarious and tone deaf.

"If people wanted you to write warmly about them , they should've behaved better"

Being a meathead isn't an excuse; behave better. That includes people who make excuses for people who behave poorly.

And accruing financial debt. But you can make that go away by baking cookies for your family and preparing a nice dinner for your husband.

It’ll all be good after you marry a high performing NFL kicker and don’t need two incomes.

A bunch of conservative Catholic women who gave him a standing ovation. Because, you know, you're completely misrepresenting what he said and don't actually understand that not everyone in this country agrees with your worldview.

Also, you people are literally incapable of reading with basic comprehension. There is literally no way to read his comments and arrive at the conclusion that he was telling anyone to "give up" on a career.
