No, not hugely, because this is part of the wider iconography of Mary as a violent anti-Semite, isn't it?
It is part of the miracle of virgin Theophilus cycle. It is antisemitic. It is Mary punching the Jew who is then made to look like a devil and antisemitic caricature to get the archa of Theophilus’s debt back. Adrienne Williams Boyarin diacusses in her Miracle of the virgin book

The art historians have regularly discussed how virulently antisemitic that first book of hours is. This is the de Brailes Hours and the MS is filled w/ antisemitic imagery. So she’s basically equivalent to fascist/white supremacist feminists.

So unfortunately to add “Not today” makes the image align with all those white supremacist women at Pro Trump protests and the ones willing to steal & loot from violent hate riots like Tulsa through physical violence.
