1. Summary of the results
The original statement inquires about Charlie Kirk's exact words regarding women and working. According to [1], Charlie Kirk stated that young women should prioritize having children and getting married over pursuing careers, and that having children is more important than having a good career [1]. This is further supported by [1], which quotes Charlie Kirk as saying that young women who voted for Kamala Harris want 'careerism, consumerism and loneliness,' while young men who voted for Trump want 'family, children and legacy' [1]. Additionally, [1] mentions that Charlie Kirk advised young women to prioritize marriage and having children over their careers [1]. On the other hand, [2] and [3] do not provide direct quotes from Charlie Kirk about women and working, but they discuss his views on women's roles in society and the controversy surrounding his comments [2] [3]. [4] mentions a heated debate about feminism sparked by his wife Erika Kirk's speech, but does not provide any information about Charlie Kirk's words on women and working [4].
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
Some sources, such as [2] and [3], do not provide direct quotes from Charlie Kirk, but rather discuss his views on women's roles in society and the controversy surrounding his comments [2] [3]. [5] and [6] do not provide any relevant information about Charlie Kirk's words on women and working [5] [6]. [7] provides an analysis of Charlie Kirk's ideas about women and work as a form of 'revanchism,' seeking to reverse the progress made by women in the workforce and society, citing the work of Claudia Goldin [7]. The comments section of Paul Krugman's article, as mentioned in [3], features a discussion about Charlie Kirk's views on women and work, with many commenters criticizing Kirk's ideas as sexist and reactionary [3].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The original statement may be considered biased as it only inquires about Charlie Kirk's words regarding women and working, without providing any context or acknowledging the controversy surrounding his comments [2] [3]. The statement may also be misleading as it implies that Charlie Kirk's views on women and working are straightforward and easily quantifiable, when in fact they are complex and multifaceted, as discussed in [7] and [3] [7] [3]. Furthermore, the statement may benefit those who seek to criticize or undermine Charlie Kirk's views on women and working, by providing a platform for discussion and debate, as seen in [3] [3]. On the other hand, the statement may also benefit Charlie Kirk and his supporters, by allowing them to clarify and defend his views on women and working, as presented in [1] and [1] [1].
