There are two competing visions playing out in our culture right now. One prizes traditional values, marriage, matrimony, and the worth of a soul. The other peddles promiscuity and lust, urging women to trade their innocence for a hollow imitation of freedom.
Two video clips that recently went viral perfectly embody this divide. In the first, octogenarian philosophy professor Peter Kreeft was on The Daily Wire’s “Pints with Aquinas,” explaining that a man should marry a woman for her soul, not her physical appearance, because even staring at his wife’s corpse, he found her most beautiful. He understood that the body fades, but the thing worth loving, the eternal part, never does. The second clip represents that latter, destructive philosophy: Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, on her crudely titled podcast Plan Bri, calling Erika Kirk a “f*cking clown” for daring to promote the nuclear family, traditional values, and faith.
Chickenfry, a 27-year-old media personality, is best known for her failed relationship with singer Zach Bryan, swearing aggressively, and posting videos of herself hungover. She claims to be a champion of female power and progress, and ridicules Erika Kirk and TPUSA for apparently “preying” on young women. Chickenfry is everything wrong with our current culture, wrapped in a ring light and a vape cloud. She rails against “bad influence” while being one of the worst exemplars of young women.
Chickenfry (hilariously asinine that this is how she’s referenced) fulminated that Kirk is a lazy trad wife, putting women behind “five hundred million steps.” Hm. Well, it takes the average joe 137 years to hit 500 million steps, so apparently by discussing the beautiful harmony of marriage between man and woman, recognizing the importance of strong and stable men leading a family, and encouraging women to find the love of their life and have babies with them, we young, impressionable, naive ladies who hear this nonsensical talk have been sent back to 1889! Ahh! The horror! Instead, women should apparently imbibe from the infinite wisdom of Brianna Chickenfry, who is on a self-proclaimed “d*ck break” as of this week, and who needs to slurp on a flavored nicotine vape stick every three minutes to fire up the neurons in her brain that produce such extraordinary sagacity.
She also claimed on “Plan Bri,” the show that is literally named after Plan B, a drug women take post-sex to undo what sex is for, that “Turning Point is preying on women whose frontal lobes aren’t developed,” that Kirk is a “hypocrite” who should go take care of her family, and that she is simply the “f*cking worst.”
A truly darling woman, the epitome of class and grace, Chickenfry is.
Yet by her own logic, women under 25 shouldn’t be listening to Erika Kirk talk about family or faith. Instead, these underdeveloped mushball ladies should form their thoughts, feelings, and actions based on Brianna’s advice. I mentioned earlier she’s on a “d*ck break.” This is news to me, because on June 21, I was unfortunately exposed to a video of her saying she wants to have “like, a hooker summer,” because she’s never done the “be a whore thing.” Because she’s “so scared.”
*Sighs.* Lots to, like, unpack there.
This all matters because this is the caliber of role models young women are exposed to on the internet, and it’s detrimental to them and society. Chickenfry, Alex Cooper of “Call Her Daddy,” a rotating cast of OnlyFans influencers, and a thousand of their carbon copies are reaching girls at scale, selling the same script: it’s okay to sleep around. It’s okay to relinquish your goods for the next man you meet on the street. It’s okay to talk crassly and openly about sex, lust, cheating, and then turn around and claim that all men are evil. In fact, it’s more than okay. It’s preferred.
To these women, this is the height of female empowerment. “Experimenting” with whoever, wherever, whenever. Then telling other women to do it too. Because it’s “freeing” not to be tied down to a man. It’s “true feminism” not to be exclusive with just one guy. It’s “emancipating” to sleep with whoever you want, and then abort the resulting child the moment that child becomes an inconvenience rather than a blessing.
But these nostrums don’t survive contact with reality and proven biology. They lead to unhappiness, loneliness, and unfulfillment. Alex Cooper, after preaching infidelity and anti-men quackery for years, ended up married with a baby on the way. OnlyFans creators are warning newcomers that the business wrecks their odds at real relationships and normal employment. Chickenfry herself has had her heart broken publicly, and she’s obviously angry about it, yet the gospel she’s preaching to teenage girls is a blueprint for the same heartbreak, just with extra steps.
But she let the quiet part slip. She claims she wants to have a “hooker summer,” but she’s scared. Where does that fear come from? The instinctive understanding that we are not rag dolls to be thrown around. Women are not built for detachment. We can put on a face and act tough, but our biology doesn’t understand “hooker summer.” Our biology craves one love.
Erika Kirk is not a “f*cking clown.” She’s a widowed mother of two. She’s a workhorse and was a traditional spouse. She’s a God-fearing, forgiving, honorable woman who experienced more loss and grief than most of us will ever know. She’s promoting an idea that has been proven true across every era of human history: that one of the greatest things we can ever do as human beings is to get married and raise kids, to find a person whose soul you can love eternally, no matter how wrinkly, worn, and withered their flesh may become, straight into the next life.
I hope Chickenfry finds her rooster. I hope her platform grows into something that promotes goodness, monogamy, and the harmonious and sacred union of man and wife. Until then, I’ll pray for her, the same way I suspect Erika Kirk already does.
