Erika Kirk told graduating students at Hillsdale College
in Michigan on Saturday, 9 May, that they should 'have more kids than you can afford,' urging the class of 2025 to marry young and embrace what she described as God‑given roles for men and women.
"To the men, you are called to provide, you are called to lead, to anchor your families in strength and consistency. To the women, you are called to nurture, to build, to shape lives with wisdom and endurance."
The choice of Erika Kirk as commencement speaker was controversial even before she reached the podium.
The student newspaper, The Collegian
, reported that some in the graduating class felt her invitation shifted the focus away from their academic achievement and towards the modern conservative movement that her husband helped to shape.

This is a women who willingly shackled herself to a man that believed womens only purpose was to cook, clean, and give birth. Definitely not going to be known as a source of wisdom
Please, please, please keep this idiot out of the public eye. Nobody should be taking any kind of advice from Erika!
Seems like the women in the MAGA cult are pushing the idea that the obvious purpose for women in the MAGA movement is to focus on being breeders. Erica Kirk it seems is hardly ever home so who is raising her little ones?

There is no achievement in getting a degree from Hillsdale, they were supposed to be getting the MRS degree.
If you didn't think that way, why did you stay at indoctrination college?

(7,182 posts)It's a broken down, financially strapped, ideologically isolated school in a remote corner of Michigan. It's a pseudo-Christian school, having a lot of the trappings of a faith-based campus, but lacking in any real understanding or practice of the Christian gospel.

(24,899 posts)"is to focus on being breeders."
You know why that is, don't you?
Because white conservative dominance in the USA is on the wrong side of the decades long demographic shift.
That's why they are outlawing abortion and trying to ethnic cleanse the United States from brown people.
The statistics are against white, protestant majority rule and they know it. And well, they just can't have that now, can they?
The right wing powers that be need more and more badly educated white parents having more and more little white children that will be badly educated so that they will continue to vote for conservatives and keep the status quo.
Well educated white people with access to birth control and rational family planning tend to have a normal amount of children (I realize "normal amount" is subjective) and are more affluent, better educated and vote liberal in large numbers.
And they just cant have that either, now can they?
White capitalists in this country would be more than happy to go back to the days when your average working class white family looked like this;
