I was raised with standard Clown World 101 political beliefs. I always had questions and doubts, but questioning the narrative was shut down hard. My husband was always a traditionalist. Whenever I would start spouting leftist nonsense when we were dating, he would smile and then with patience and kindness, carve up my arguments and show them for the folly they were. At first I adopted trad beliefs because I loved him and wanted to follow where he led, unquestioning. Then I started to read the Forbidden Books (tm), starting with the Bible. That cemented me firmly in the truth and the Truth.

Men, when you're leading a girl out of leftism, sometimes gentleness is the way to go. Mr. Churn was contemptuous of my ideas but never of me.

"Her female lack of empathy prevents her from understanding that his motivation has nothing to do with “feeling superior” or “feeling different”."

Exactly. Women (and Gammas for that matter) have a very hard time to imagine other people might have motivations different from their own. If you disagree with them, you are either stupid, evil or psychologically damaged. The thought that you could arrive at a different standpoint, because you are intelligent, caring and mentally quite healthy never enters their mind.
