I hope the Chiefs get rid of this guy.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is getting attention for comments he made during a commencement address at Benedictine College last weekend in which he congratulated the women receiving degrees, but then said most were probably more excited to get married and have children.

The three-time Super Bowl champion also railed against President Joe Biden’s stance on abortion and his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as Catholic leaders he said were “pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America.”

Butker delivered his roughly 20-minute address Saturday at the Catholic private liberal arts school in Atchison, Kansas, which is located about 60 miles north of Kansas City.

The 28-year-old Butker took aim at Biden’s policies, including his response to COVID-19, which has killed nearly 1.2 million people in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

So I want to point out out another aspect to Shoshanna's beliefs that I find chilling.

The ableism.

The idea underlying her herbal woo-woo and Plexus shilling is that it is God-ordained to be healthy while simultaneously being FREE from anything related to modern medical care. So she hugs poison ivy. And does weird calesthenics down by creek. And speaks in word salad that she calls poetry.  Because she is healthy! Because God loves her!

But wait. Now she is admitting to prior health problems due to stress from being abused.

Except now she is healed and you can be healed too if you buy into her beliefs and her product.

The misogeny and child-beating is horrific. But so is the idea that you are somehow spiritually superior if you are in good health.

It's very twisted and obnoxious and, underneath it all, she is not well.

I miss the bucket-hat days. 

 

Lots of adults around here wear bucket hats at the pool. A couple summers ago, the local health dept. visited the pool one day during adult swim hours to promote sun safety. They gave out free bucket hats which came in a wide variety of colors and fun patterns. Of course I wasn’t there that day and missed out. So I got one from Amazon which sells all kinds.

When my son was a tween, he had an orange-and-camo bucket hat that suited him to a T.  At the time, we did a lot of camping, fishing and hiking and he wore the hat all the time. He’s wearing it in several of my most favorite photos of him. I’ve parted with a good bit of his stuff from when he was little, but have no plans to part with the hat.

This makes me much more angry than just ignoring the usual criticism. They are gaslighting, denying, and pretending like they had no idea there were men who beat the shit out of their wives when writing their heinous books. 
 

Debi, “what?!? You mean there are men who beat women? I’ve never heard of such a thing!” 
 

Fuck off.

Agreed. If Mike and Debi came out with those anti-abuse articles AND acknowledged how their books enabled abuse AND pulled their books off the market, that would indicate a change of heart. The current articles, without the other things, are just disgusting damage control. Pretending that 20 years ago women were lacking submission and now they're not? That men weren't abusive then but now they are? Bullshit.

I had some hope, over the past couple years, that maybe Shoshanna was seeing the light. It seemed like she was deconstructing and getting ready to stand up to the old teachings. But now? This is worse than before. This is beyond insulting and harmful to victims. I'm angry too, for myself and so many women who were wronged by the Pearl's teachings. Sadly, there will be a lot of women who read Debi and Shoshanna's updates and believe that the book was never the problem, it was all their imagination, or all their own fault for doing it wrong. 💔
