Charlie Kirk to billionaire Taylor Swift: "Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You're not in charge."

Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You’re not in charge.

– Discussing news of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement on The Charlie Kirk Show, 26 August 2025

The answer is yes, the baby would be delivered.

We need to have a Nuremberg-style trial for every gender-affirming clinic doctor. We need it immediately.

they -- and they alone -- believe they have some absolute obligation to tell other people how to properly live their lives. Where does that state of mind come from? My only guess is pathological narcissism.

Adding to further amazement is that these otherwise talentless men are able to attract thousands of die-hard followers.

They believe that they alone have all the answers.
They think that they are the most brilliant and talent people in the world.
They demand constant adoration and attention.
And special treatment.

They are the only people who count. The rest of us are just props in the show where they are the star.

They can quite charismatic and convincing con men.

That is already a formula for pre-programmed failure.

But the truth is that most men don't want any women to "submit" to them.

And I'm talking about men that are looking for committed relationships also.

Look at all the wealthy guys out there. Why don't they ever go for the submissive woman ? They will go for gold diggers that they know is using them before they go for submissive women.

That whole thing is a conservative religious thing.

it's just aimed at resentful men that are uneducated to make them think the problem is feminism instead of their own ignorance and lack of education.

If they focused on self improvement which includes everything from personal health and appearance to education and hobbies they will experience a world that opens up to them. They will be able to have more things to talk about and more money to go out and meet people.
