Erika Kirk tells Hillsdale graduates to 'have more kids than you can afford' and anti women nonsense [View all]

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 women’s 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?
