Watch: Maria Shriver Calls Out Harrison Butker for “Demeaning” Graduation Speech
formally known as Twitter, Shriver, 68, didn’t hold back as she took Butker, 28, to task for his speech at Benedictine College on Saturday, May 11, in which he attacked working women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, abortion rights, IVF and more.
“As a woman who has leaned into my vocation of living a meaningful life inside and outside the home to not only raise good humans but also raise up our country in various ways, I think it’s demeaning to women to imply that their choices outside of wife and motherhood pale in comparison to that of a homemaker,” she wrote.
“It took a revolution to get women the right to vote, to get women birth control pills, to get women to be able to put their names on a checking account, to get them maternity leave, to get them anything close to pay equity, to get elected to office, to get them where they are today!,” Shriver added.
