The Speaker is Amanda Marcotte, a 39 year old, feminist and political blogger. It is obvious from her article subjects that she has liberal political views. Marcotte values the women opinion and advocates for immoralities she sees in society.
Marcotte often speaks to criticize or voice her opinion on the events in recent news. She took to the internet on one occasion to discuss her opinion on Genetic Engineering of babies, which was a change of scene from the common feminist or political centered writings.
Her audience consists of left wing supporters and people who strongly support the feminist movement. Marcotte writes to inform her readers of policies and injustices that go on in politics. She wants her readers to take interests in the policies and events she discusses. Marcotte also seems to write voice her opinion on topic in recent news, as many bloggers do. For example, her article on the erection of the Fearless Girl statue voiced her opinion on how she felt that Fearless Girl hurt the feminist movement.
Marcotte's writing focuses on liberal politics, pro-women's rights, and more recently, Donald Trump. She voices her opinion on the feminist ideals and issues in society but her main focus is politics.
Marcotte usually has a critical tone for her articles. She continuously ridicules the ideals of the Republican Party in her political centered articles. For example, In "A climate of lies: Denialism goes wider, and weirder, as Trump amplifies Republican mendacity," Marcotte calls out Republicans as a whole, claiming they are "emboldened in their dishonesty," and that they continue to deny facts and scientific evidence.
