Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, has joined the chat about Harrison Butker‘s controversial commencement speech.

The Kansas City Chiefs kicker has sparked mixed reactions over his remarks at Benedictine College, a Catholic college in Atchison, Kan. May 11, in which he said most female graduates would be “most excited” about marriage and motherhood and spoke about against topics such as abortion and IVF.

“Building men up and not tearing them down is important. Building women and not tearing them down is important,” she wrote on Instagram. “Everyone has a choice of what they want his/her life to look like…it’s not up to anyone else or society. The more society tells women where they belong, the more imposter syndrome starts to creep in, that they don’t belong because that’s what society is telling them.”
