Similarly, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), Tennessee Pastor Erik Reed remarked, “The fact that this is controversial with CHRISTIANS shows how far off the path we’ve gone.

Others pointed out the false dichotomy of Butker’s words about women being homemakers in lieu of pursuing careers outside the home.
“I am a wife and mother, and I have a fulfilling career,” one woman wrote on X. “I share homemaking responsibilities with my family, because it takes family working together to make a home.”
