As we awaken this morning, Alex Galbraith of Salon drops this into piece-a claim that Charlie Kirk wants young girls to focus on MRS Degrees.

For those unfamiliar with the term, “MRS Degree”, it is a basic college degree young women receive to ultimately find a husband. It is the one reason for going to college for these girls in the first place. The scene played out at one of Kirk’s Turning Point USA events:

The Turning Point USA founder was taking questions from the crowd at his recent Young Women’s Leadership Summit in Dallas, Texas. A high school freshman walked up to the mic, mentioned that she was hoping to start a career in political journalism and asked for Kirk’s ‘pros and cons’ on attending college. Kirk responded with a monologue, pointed at the ‘young ladies here in high school,’ that encouraged them to spend their school years seeking out a husband.

‘Who’s here where your top priority is to get married and have kids? Raise your hand,’ he said. ‘Interestingly, I think there’s an argument to bring back the ‘MRS degree.'”– Alex Galbraith, Salon

Cue the meltdowns:

Shamefully, most white females voted for these people over a more-than-qualified candidate of their own gender. Any wonder that young girls are being programmed with this crap – and believing it – in the home?

She was not a “more-than qualified” candidate. In my opinion, young women are being programmed with a lot worse. ChatGPT advice on how to get an abortion, anyone? Or how’s about women advocating for other women to have harmful mastectomies and hysterectomies causing untold harm, because they wake up one day and suddenly feel uncomfortable in their own bodies? Salon advocates for this…but the dreaded MRS Degree?

Hell, no! Or, so I also thought at the time.

I remember back in the 90s, when I told one of my very liberal friends that I wanted to be a wife and a mom over vodka tonics on 80-cent drink night at our local watering hole. At the time, I was a Journalism major at The U in our town and dating a stoner in a rock band. I wanted my degree, but I also, deep down in my heart, wanted a future with someone. She drunkenly scolded me for not being “feminist” enough and thinking I needed a man to “make me happy”.

I continued to bloody my head against the wall for years after that. Thinking I was a “liberal feminist”, that I did not need a man and dated a bunch of the wrong men who felt that they, frankly, did not need a woman, either. I was emotionally and even sexually abused and made to feel small and insignificant by these poor excuses for “men” who now, on their BlueSky and Facebook pages, say they “stand up” for women. (To get abortions. I know, their chivalry is amazing.) All of them Democrats. All of them liberals. All pieces of trash. All of this, while my liberal friends DID get married in their Fairy Tale they said they did not believe in, in their pretty, white dresses, and divorced years later after they found out that their husbands were philandering, cheating womanizers who refused to grow up. Again, these were men LEFT of the aisle. The only friend in this group who stayed married was the friend who wanted to be married and wanted children right out the gate. Her husband wanted the same. They were the more middle-of-the-road. More regarding the MRS Degree:

You don’t get much better than that. It doesn’t get better after college. That actually was the reason why a lot women went to college… and it worked.”-Charlie Kirk

In a cultural climate where partying, drugs, sexual freedom and hookup culture (Salon also wrote about this) are rampant, where political dissent wedges a divide between the Liberals and Conservatives on campus, there are those students who really long for tradition. I see this now from the perspective of my son, who has now lived through his first year in college and has been on the receiving end of some of that hookup, “do what feels good” culture. We’ve had some very real, painful and cringey conversations about the hookup culture at his school. There have been some uncomfortable FaceTimes over the past year. Quite honestly, some of the stuff I really want to block out of my mind because, he is the child for which I prayed.

The reality is, HE wants something more meaningful. Some of these girls, though? Not so much but they talk a good game. They “love Jesus” but go head-first into sexual relationships and wonder where all the “nice guys” are. My theory? These girls DO want something more meaningful, too. But society, social media and the liberal media/entertainment machine are sending mixed signals. Being attractive and sexy means “lots of guys want you”. Being independent means “not relying on a man for your happiness” and, if the urge suits you, taking what and WHO you want in that moment, with reckless abandon.

My son, (a smart and very good-looking guy if I do say so myself) has told me that girls randomly chat him up all the time. As a gym rat, they see his physique and are only looking for one thing-to take what they want in that moment and to do what feels good. For him, he’s not wired this way and sees emotional entanglement and feelings wrapped up in that “one thing”, so he keeps his distance, head down and nose to the grindstone. He’s heard the girls call some of the frat houses the “husband houses” but once they break up with one of the bros of the week, they are chatting up all of their male friends (frat or not) on SnapChat and Instagram, trying to move on to the next conquest. This has happened to him. Some guys roll with it and embrace it. Another notch in the belt. Another story. He calls this toxic. He wants no part of it. He wants the real deal. He wants a girl who is not going to run to his friends as a “revenge” (use your imagination how that revenge is carried out) when the going gets tough. In truth, I think he would be happy finding a girl who is driven, like him, who likes the gym, likes to gorge on good culinary treats on occasion, and is in it for the long haul. A girl who wants her degree and, eventually, to be a (GASP, Salon) A MRS! Sadly, this girl is not easy to find on a large college campus in 2025. He’s confided that this can get lonely at times, and I personally hate this like hell for him. But, he’s rolling with it and says, “it is what it is”. I pray daily that The One is out there. She has to be.

Last night, my son was looking at houses and where he’d like to settle down when he “has a job, is married and has kids”. Publications like Salon are painting Charlie Kirk’s “MRS Degree” comments as a bad thing; as taking a step “backwards” in time. Ohmigerd-we’re going back to the 50s!

@charliekirk11 doesn’t know his head from his ass. If a young woman wants to marry and have kids, that’s HER choice. A college education is also HER choice. FYI Charlie the birth rate is dropping because @GOP does everything to make having/raising kids unbelievably difficult.

— CB (@cb14075) June 19, 2025

I’d argue the liberals don’t know their heads from their asses. The birth rate is dropping not because of the pro-life GOP but because, 1) some liberals choose not to have kids. 2) liberals advocate for the abortion of these children and 3) liberals advocate for the genital mutilation of kids so they cannot reproduce even if they wanted to later in life. But, in moving on, I would say this. YES, it is a woman’s CHOICE to marry and have kids. We’re not talking forced arranged marriage or pregnancy here. YES, it is a woman’s CHOIE to get an education. We’re not holding anyone back in this country. Perhaps the countries the liberals like to support hold their women back with denying eduction, arranged marriages, sexual assault and forced genital mutilation, but not us. Genital mutilation is actually a CHOICE here.

For the young women who want a husband and children and for the young guys who want a wife and kids, it makes me wonder what would happen if we drowned out the current noise of moral corruption, confusion, vanity, narcissism and utter selfish indulgence with people who actually WANT an education AND a partner to do life with? And, stay with me here, what if this partnership resulted in children who are raised to do the very same? What if we took that step back? Would that really be such a terrible thing?

We can’t possibly expect a writer (from the party of “education” and “science”) at Salon to understand anything that is not from the liberal, progressive script of which they were indoctrinated to recite. The concept Kirk was trying to relay is completely lost on them. I hold out hope for the tide to change for our young people. Our children DO deserve better than the mess we have now.
