| At TPUSA’s women’s summit, Christian influencers say feminism threatens motherhood About 3,000 women gathered in San Antonio over the weekend to connect over their distaste for feminism and push against the mainstream trend of young women abandoning religion. RNS Reporter Kathryn Post found the mood light on Friday as attendees perused booths of health supplements, patriotic merch and sparkly cowboy hats. Walls and posters displayed slogans like “GET MARRIED START A FAMILY.” Teens spun in the ballroom aisles as Taylor Swift and Christian worship music blasted on loudspeakers. TPUSA sponsored the summit as part of their mission to appeal to young women through targeted events and a cadre of conservative Christian women influencers. “At its core, feminism is a worldview that treats many of the things that make women uniquely women as obstacles to overcome, rather than divine gifts to embrace,” said Erika Kirk, CEO of Turning Point USA and widow of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, in her opening speech.
