What to Know
If there’s one thing that Erika Kirk and Turning Point USA are against for women, it’s the idea of moms and wives working anywhere outside of the home that takes their focus away from their husbands and kids. Charlie Kirk also spoke of that before his death. Never mind the fact that Erika herself is a mom of two who leads Turning Point USA as its CEO and works outside of the home.
Apparently, irony isn’t a big deal to the ultra conservative crowd in the United States. But even with Erika’s ideals pretty plain as day and Turning Point USA’s videos on women not surprising, Erika’s guidelines for women for Turning Point USA’s Women’s Leadership Summit in 2026 were incredibly jarring for those outside of the conservative Christian world.
Erika Kirk and Turning Point USA are dedicated to making sure women are submissive.
The event might be called the Women’s Leadership Summit, but it seems to focus on ways to make sure women are led by men rather than the other way around. According to the website for the conference, some of the ideas of the belief system include living with “God-given purpose,” how to feel empowered in different roles, and understanding why “modern convenience” isn’t the way to go for health.
Before Charlie’s death, he made his stance on working mothers clear. And now, Erika has continued his work. But, um, sis, you are a working mom. Apparently, the rules don’t apply for Erika, at least not the same way they do for those who support her and following Turning Point USA’s message.
The irony of Erika Kirk being a working mom seems lost on her.
Some of the conference focuses on the tradwife movement. A tradwife is a traditional housewife who takes care of the home, the children, and, in many ways, the husband. She is submissive to him and follows his lead on most things. Erika might have been part tradwife and part business partner for Charlie when he was alive. But now, she is all business as the Turning Point USA CEO. Whatever happened to the belief that women shouldn’t work outside of the home, though?
On a Reddit post about the hypocrisy of tradwife influencers and working mothers who are also Christians and spout anti-working mom rhetoric, people agreed that it makes little to no sense. And when it comes to Erika specifically, none of her haters are here to give her even a morsel of the benefit of the doubt.
“A question that begs to be answered is this: If a woman’s place is in the home being a homemaker and raising children and being submissive to a man and knowing her place, then how do they address the total hypocrisy of so many conservative women such as Charlie Kirk’s wife who are constantly out in public at speaking engagements and on TV speaking about how they all belong at home?” A Redditor wrote on the thread. Mic drop.
Tradwife influencer Savanna Faith Stone is part of Erika Kirk’s mission.
Savannah Faith Stone is a tradwife influencer set to speak at the Women’s Leadership Summit. Her content is centered on the tradwife moment and some of her ideas are pretty radical. But if they speak to what the conference is all about, then they say a lot about what Erika is promoting for women who continue to follow her.
According to the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE), Savannah once said on TikTok that her characteristics in a happy marriage are: “learn how to make food from scratch, be submissive to my husband, have one bank account, no pre-nup, and be trapped for life in one relationship.”
Savannah also once promoted the idea of a voting system where one household votes under the direction of the husband or father. In this system, the male figure would vote for the entire household. What does all of this mean for the future of the country and the future for women? It’s not great.
