An analyst Monday called a MAGA influencer's weaponization of her gender and crusade against empathy "especially dangerous."
Salon's Amanda Marcotte wrote in an opinion piece about far-right Christian pundit Allie Beth Stuckey and how "the rights modern war on empathy really began with a woman."
Stuckey, a creationist and podcaster, has tried "scaring women into stopping birth control by falsely portraying it as dangerous" and has captured the attention of MAGA with her 2024 book Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion, Marcotte wrote. The concept for her book originated on her podcast "Relatable."

Feeling too much for someone can blind us to reality, Stuckey said. It can cause us to ignore the truth, the objective truth, in favor of how a person feels.
I like Salon's Amanda Marcotte...............she is right on point in this article............
