Candace Owens on Feminism, Taylor Swift, Motherhood, and Why Women Need to Reject Modern Lies

Candace Owens delivers a powerful message to young women about the dangers of modern feminism, the propaganda embedded in culture, and why marriage and motherhood offer the fulfillment that career obsession never will. Speaking at a Turning Point USA event, Owens dismantles the lies women are told about success, critiques Taylor Swift's perpetual adolescence, praises Harrison Butker's controversial speech, and calls out the psychological conditioning happening through social media, sex education, and Hollywood. She shares her journey to Catholicism, the importance of faith, and why conservative women need to stop apologizing for wanting traditional lives.

The Propaganda Machine Targeting Women

Candace Owens opens with a stark warning: Americans have gotten stupid, and social media is poison to young minds, especially for women who have been systematically lied to. She explains how feminism has been packaged as empowerment while actually disturbing healthy relations between the sexes. The viral hashtags like "the future is female" and "boss babe" culture are meaningless corporate slogans designed to confuse women about their natural instincts and roles.

Owens traces the psychological conditioning back to elementary school, where girls are taught to idolize women like Amelia Earhart for their careers rather than grandmothers who raised eight children and maintained 47-year marriages. This continues through sex education, which she reveals was never about educating students but about sexualizing them. According to Thomas Sowell's research, the majority of high school students in the 1960s were graduating with their virginity intact until the federal government implemented sex education programs. Within ten years, that completely shifted.

Margaret Sanger and the Evil History of Planned Parenthood

Owens delivers a scathing examination of Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, whom students are taught to admire. Reading Sanger's actual writings reveals her explicit eugenics agenda during the Progressive Era. Sanger wrote openly about wanting to "exterminate the undesirables" and prevent certain populations from reproducing. Her paper titled "Birth Control Propaganda" detailed strategies to convince poor people that not having children was the responsible choice.

Working with Clarence Gamble, heir to the Proctor and Gamble fortune, Sanger launched a campaign to make women feel at war with their own bodies. Owens connects this historical evil to the modern pharmaceutical industry, noting how birth control is essentially brain medicine that makes women struggle to conceive after years of use. Women who once had twelve children without issue now need government intervention through IVF to have even one child.

The Harrison Butker Moment

Owens passionately defends Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who faced massive backlash for praising his wife as a homemaker at a Catholic university commencement speech. The media collapsed when Butker expressed gratitude for his wife, explained how she is the perfect complement to him, and spoke about putting God first in his life. Owens points out the absurdity: if Butker had announced he was on his third divorce with a trans child, the media would have celebrated him as a hero.

She calls out Jason Kelce's response, where he claimed to disagree with Butker while admitting he couldn't explain why. Kelce recoiled at the term "homemaker" to describe his own wife, insisting she is his "partner" and they are "equals," demonstrating how propaganda works. Owens asks what specifically Kelce disagrees with, noting the irony that his brother Travis Kelce is dating Taylor Swift, who is on her 39th relationship.

The Taylor Swift Problem

In one of her most memorable segments, Owens addresses Taylor Swift directly. She notes that while she was with Swift in the beginning, listening to her music at 15, things have gotten less relatable at 34. Owens questions how it can always be the man's fault after ten-plus breakups and argues that Swift represents a dangerous prototype that Hollywood wants women to emulate: rejecting men, writing revenge songs after bad dates, and prioritizing the "girls club" over building a family.

Owens specifically calls out Swift's latest album, which included a song with capital letters spelling out "KIM" to target Kim Kardashian. She declares this is "the work of an 11-year-old" and not appropriate behavior for a 34-year-old woman. This represents a lack of development and cosplaying as a 15-year-old. Owens wishes for Taylor Swift what she wishes for everyone: marriage, children, and the best parts of life. She believes Swift's best songwriting days are ahead, not behind her, and expresses hope that Swift will return to her country roots, love her country, and love God. That, Owens says, would be her Taylor Swift era.

Motherhood as the Ultimate Exhale

Owens shares her personal experience of not missing her twenties at all, contrary to how society bills that decade as young, wild, and free. For her, it was a long anxious spell filled with student loan debt, unaffordable rent, and uncertainty about marriage and children. Marriage brought the relief of having a life partner, but motherhood revealed something divine and spiritual. She describes it as understanding that God is the maker who endowed women with gifts and instincts that men simply don't have with babies.

She emphasizes the beautiful complementary nature of masculine and feminine roles, calling God "the expert" she chooses to trust over worldly voices. Owens argues that Harrison Butker's statement about becoming more masculine while his wife became more feminine is a beautiful expression of this divine design. She contrasts this with the world's hysterical reaction to simple truths about faith, family, and traditional gender roles.

The Journey to Catholicism

When asked about her conversion from Protestantism to Catholicism, Owens explains she didn't convert simply because she married a Catholic. Her husband used to say, "To become a student of history is to become a Catholic," which she didn't understand until she started deeply studying history. She noticed patterns of Christian persecution throughout history that textbooks obscure or misrepresent.

Owens began reexamining events like the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, which was dropped on a Catholic church, the fire bombing of Dresden on Ash Wednesday, and the Bolshevik Christian Holocaust that schools don't teach. She studied with priests overseas and learned that Americans know very little about their own history and what happened before the United States became a country. She emphasizes that Protestants helped her along this journey and she holds no judgment, wanting others to examine their faith with the same curiosity.

The Conservative Media Landscape

Owens shares a stunning revelation: just before her speech, she received a frantic call that The Daily Wire had secretly sent a PR intern named Ariana to record her, hoping to catch her in a bad moment. She calls out Ben Shapiro by name, challenging him to stop sending interns to do his dirty work and accept Charlie Kirk's offer to fly him out for a public debate. The audience erupts in applause.

When asked about the future of conservative media, Owens emphasizes trusting female intuition. She explains that God endowed women with special intuition that becomes even deeper after having children. She admits to telling her husband she doesn't like certain people based purely on "vibe," and that instinct is meaningful because it comes from God. The conservative media landscape has faced its most significant changes in the last six months to a year, forcing people to ask questions about what's real and what's fake.

Music, Psychology, and Mass Manipulation

Addressing a question about music's impact on youth, Owens explains that the constant presence of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce is not accidental but intentional distribution and forced feeding. Instagram recommends following Taylor Swift immediately upon sign-up. This represents a system of brainwashing that is tried and true. She references the CIA's experiments with culture and music to see how they could impact people psychologically on a mass scale.

Owens stresses that music isn't just something you listen to—everything you look at and listen to is a pathway to your soul. When she made the conscious decision to stop listening to trash music, she now can't believe she ever listened to it. She calls for greater awareness of the mass psychology taking place through media and the importance of cleansing your soul rather than filling it with filth.

Practical Advice for Young Women

Throughout the Q&A session, Owens offers practical wisdom. She tells women in their "waiting season" for a husband to get involved in church events and missions, noting that the Holy Spirit is drawing people to churches in unprecedented ways. She advises young women to question whether they actually need to be at university or if they're just there due to programming from high school guidance counselors pushing them into six-figure debt.

On balancing career and motherhood, Owens is refreshingly honest. She acknowledges that her current situation—recording her podcast at home while her kids play outside—is an exception, not the rule. Most women face nine-hour workdays in front of computers with little time for their children. She encourages women to figure out what they're good at and find ways to control their own time, whether through writing, podcasting, or other creative work from home.

When asked about raising strong daughters, Owens emphasizes that the majority of parenting is caught, not taught. Children watch how parents communicate with each other and model themselves after their first and hopefully last heroes. On dealing with attacks and slander, she advises appreciating stupidity and refusing to argue with idiots. God only puts challenges before you that He knows you need to go through because something bigger awaits on the other end.

Faith as the Foundation

Owens reminds the audience that as Christians, they need to remember that in the end, we win. We are fighting real demons, but the outcome is assured. She encourages praying for enemies and recognizes that things have become so evil that people are inevitably being drawn toward goodness. Faith seems to be moving around the world in powerful ways, with more people talking openly about God than in recent memory.

She concludes by reaffirming her commitment to continuing her investigative series on topics like birth control and vaccines, ensuring women feel equipped to argue with doctors who try to gaslight them. The work she began before The Daily Wire will continue independently, with new episodes expected in September.
