Some questioned whether Jill was really fighting for women to decide what she wants to do with her life.

One person even asked if the freedom of choice would extend to abortions while others wanted to know if she believed in breaking the gender norms her family champions.

"And yet all the women in her family are encouraged to be baby-making home makers who do nothing but be cheerleaders for their husbands," one other person said. "Women don't need to be married or have babies you know. Do what you want, but it's a little odd the encouragement of gender stereotypes in that family."

Majority of the commenters were negative. However, others defended Derik and applauded both him and Jill for their effort.

"Beautiful. It’s wonderful that we live in a country that we are free to worship as we wish, stay home with our kids and have as many children as God blesses us with, despite the screaming Hyaenas in the wave of toxic femininity that want to shame the young women around them to do the exact opposite," one fan wrote.
