From Purity Rings to Shooting Your Dog: How Christian Womanhood Went MAGA

Growing up in the 1990s meant purity rings and Josh Harris books — now the loudest Christian women are countering 'toxic empathy' and shooting dogs.
From Purity Rings to Shooting Your Dog: How Christian Womanhood Went MAGA
Jonathan Woodward

When empathy became toxic and cruelty became strength for Christian women.

Christian womanhood has changed—and not in the ways we could have expected. In this episode, Amanda Henderson talks with the co-hosts of the “Saved By The City” podcast Katelyn Beaty and Roxanne Stone about the shift from 1990s purity culture to today’s trad wives, MAGA moms, and warnings against “toxic empathy.”


They unpack how pandemic burnout, influencer culture, and widening political gender gaps reshaped the ideal Christian woman — and why empathy itself has become a flashpoint.
