Have You Asked Your Tartar Sauce If It's Gay?

Conservative conference for young women tells them that women are responsible for "every ill in society", so stay home and get pregnant.

Charlie Kirk co-founded Turning Point USA and is its executive director. Media Matters covered Turning Point USA’s recent summit for young women.

Career women in right-wing media tell young girls to give up their dreams at Young Women's Leadership Summit

Speaker after speaker emphasized to the audience that they should become wives, mothers, and accessories to the astroturfed conservative movement rather than pursuing a demanding career. These themes were nearly identical to last year’s YWLS. . . .

Alex Clark, host of Turning Point USA’s podcasts directed at young women and the face of this event, opened the conference with what can only be described as an angry, judgmental lecture, titled “The Top 4 Lies of Modern Feminism.” She opened by asking, “Young Women’s Leadership Summit, are you ready to see this degenerate rotten culture that we’ve been living in get a makeover?” . . .

For the next 30 minutes, she launched into a winding, pseudo-academic diatribe about the four lies of modern feminism, which according to Clark are birth control, abortion, fertility care, and day care. She has staked her brand in part on spreading misinformation about birth control . . .

Attacking abortion and fertility care are not unique to Clark’s brand, but her opposition to day care is both a new and relatively isolated stance, and it didn’t land with the YWLS crowd. It was on this topic that her speech veered from sleepy to bizarre. . . .

Clark claimed, “The feminist movement is in large part to blame for the fracturing of the traditional home, where women were coerced outside of their natural roles as mothers into the workforce.” . . .

Not only is Clark a highly successful political commentator with two podcasts and the face of a yearly conference, she is also, as she noted in her own speech, not a mother. . . .

Kirk spoke next, telling the audience that women have a tendency to be “cliquey” and “mean,” unlike men, to encourage networking at the event. . . .

Like virtually every other speaker, Lara Trump attacked transgender athletes, and used the topic to draw attention to her own body: “I’ve been an athlete for most of my life. You might notice my legs are very muscular. I still do a little working out on the side, you know, I’ve got to stay in shape.”

Candace Owens to TPUSA's Young Women's Leadership Summit: “Every ill that we are fighting right now in society has been brought forth by women”

The truth is, is we got here from women. The transgendered movement has been ushered in by women. I was explaining this to Charlie just now on his radio show. I said every ill that we are fighting right now in society has been brought forth by women. 

The Turning Point USA Young Women's Leadership Summit is sponsored by a shady police nonprofit

[T]he event will be sponsored in part by the National Police Association, a shady nonprofit that seeks to bring “attention to the anti-police efforts challenging effective law enforcement.” But a 2019 investigative report from the IndyStar revealed that the organization does not have the support of local police departments, and local police chiefs call it a “scam.”
