Right-Wing Pundit Charlie Kirk Slammed For Saying Birth Control Makes Women ‘Angry & Bitter,’ Females Over 30 ‘Aren’t Attractive In Dating Pool’

In a recent event organized by Turning Point Faith, a right-wing organization, conservative commentator Charlie Kirk made a series of controversial statements regarding women’s rights and health issues.

In an extensive monologue, Kirk blamed birth control for making “young ladies” “angry and bitter.” 

He said, “We basically told a great generation of young women’ don’t get married, don’t have kids, go get a corporate job,’ and it’s created mass political hysteria. And then in their early 30s they get really upset because they say, ‘you know, the boys don’t want to date me anymore,’ because they’re not at their prime and people get mad when I say that — well, it’s just true.”

His misogynistic perspective on gender equality was met with much criticism as such comments contribute to the age-old societal pressure on women to prioritize marriage and motherhood and dismiss their personal and professional aspirations.

Kirk continued, “You’re in your early 30s; I’m sorry, you’re not as attractive in the dating pool as you were in your early 20s, but again, you have your corporate job and cats. And I feel sorry for a lot of these young ladies. They email me all the time, and they say, ‘Charlie, I’m broken down in tears; I’m 33, I earn $130,000 a year, I travel a lot, and I have no one to share my life with.'”

He attributed this to cultural influences, media and even parents who encourage their daughters to pursue corporate careers while they simultaneously vilify men and suppress their biological impulses. He further claimed that birth control had adverse effects on women’s mental health and linked it to increased depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation. 

Kirk stated, “Every single one of you need to make sure that your loved ones are not on birth control. It increases depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation. Birth control is the number one prescribed medication for young ladies under the age of 25. They will give young ladies birth control for pimples and acne to control their moods and their period. It is awful, it’s terrible, and it creates very angry and bitter young ladies and young women. Then that bitterness then manifests into a political party that is the bitter party. I mean, the Democrat Party is all about ‘bring us your bitterness and, you know, we’ll give you free stuff.'”

Many critics online noted that Kirk failed to cite any scientific evidence for his claims.

Kirk wields considerable power in the GOP. In January, House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-New York) pulled her endorsement of an Ohio House candidate after Kirk criticized him for past comments about former President Donald Trump.
