This is why the Harrison Butker commencement speech angered me so much; that his wife’s life did not start until she became a wife and mother is insidious. So many messages already convey this as you write and those who have access to large platforms are further influencing young women to see their lives as not fully their own, and only of value in relation and service to others.
