The
Pearl
Jam
frontman
had
some
choice
words,
calling
Butker
at “f—kin’
p—y”
during
a
May
18
concert
in
Las
Vegas.
“That’s
some
good
men,
good
women,
making
up
a
great
band,”
he
said,
gesturing
to
his
fellow
musicians
onstage. “The
singer,
Jessica
[Dobson],
and
the
keyboard
player,
Patti
[King],
they
must
not
have
believed
that
[deepening
his
voice] ‘diabolical
lie’
that
women
should
take
pride
in
taking
a
back
seat
to
their
man.”
Vedder—dad
to
daughters
Olivia
and
Harper
with
wife
Jill
McCormick—waited
for
the
applause
to
trail
off,
then
added
that
homemaking “is
maybe
one
of
the
hardest
jobs”
and
one
to “definitely
take
pride
in.”
But
he
didn’t “understand
the
logic”
of
advising
anyone,
men
or
women,
that
they’ll
benefit
from
giving
up
their
dreams.
And,
Vedder
added, “There’s
nothing
more
masculine
than
a
strong
man
supporting
a
strong
woman
and
people
of
quality
do
not
fear
equality.”
