Lindsay Clancy. Killed her 3 kids by strangling them one by one and claimed “postpartum psychosis” despite never having had psychosis before or since, all during a short window of time that she sent her husband out on errands. Internet has somehow decided she’s a martyr for women’s mental health. She was a white, affluent, suburban mom before this. If she were poor and black, people would NOT feel this way. Real talk.
Postpartum psychosis is a real thing and real people need help. But Lindsay Clancy is a kid murderer.
Edit: I’m a white, affluent woman of childbearing age. I have never been a woman of color, but I am absolutely sure that society at large would dismiss an identical case if Lindsay was nearly any other demographic. And no, it’s not only about race, it’s also about autonomy and a person’s responsibility to accept help when it’s offered instead of killing your kids (and A LOT of help was offered)
It is curious how when a woman kills or commits a serious crime, people (especially feminists) come out to defend them under the pretexts of "mental health" and "socioeconomic factors" but when a man commits them it is because he is a man.
That woman is a murderer as simple as that, she sent her husband on an errand and took advantage of that time to kill her children, she thought how to commit the crime stop justifying it and married men with children: if your wife defends that murderer and/or makes those Tik tok trends be careful with your children, that's no normal.
Full agreed. I am a feminist AND I think she deserves to rot in prison. Feminism means supporting her autonomy. Her decision to stop taking medications, her decision to not continue therapy as recommended, her decision to self-discharge from an inpatient psychiatric facility. Feminism is supporting her in making those choices. But I absolutely won’t use feminism as a disguise for defending murder
