Biblical Womanhood, MAGA Girlbosses, and the Useful Myth of "Tradition"

In 'Toxic Empathy', Allie Beth Stuckey explores how progressives exploit Christian compassion by using empathy as a tool of manipulation. She delves into five heated issues: abortion, gender, sexuality, immigration, and social justice. Stuckey argues that progressives use catchy mantras to present their perspectives as empathetic, while ignoring the other side of the moral equation. The book is about submitting empathy to God’s definitions of love, goodness, and justice, equipping Christians with research-backed, Biblical truths to dismantle progressive lies that have permeated culture and the church.

In this book, Stephanie Coontz examines two centuries of the American family, debunking misconceptions about the past that influence current debates on domestic life. Coontz argues that the 1950s family, often idealized, was not traditional and did not represent a workable model for modern personal lives. The book explores how family structures were shaped by economic changes, racial dynamics, and societal upheaval, and it highlights the complexities and transformations in women's roles throughout history. The revised edition includes a new introduction and epilogue discussing the impact of growing gender equality and rising economic inequality on modern family life, marriage, and male-female relationships.

Burke's writing delves into the contradictions of modern womanhood and the false nostalgia for a past that never truly existed.
