I literally cannot accept this case. Lindsay Clancy was LITERALLY a MATERNITY NURSE. Literally she went to school specifically to help mothers and their babies. She literally wrote research papers on how to bond with children as a new mother. Literally we have video recordings of her as a maternity nurse giving advice to new mothers.

She’s literally an EXPERT on maternity, pediatrics and healthcare…

Not to mention, she’s fucking rich, had a husband, plus a nanny, plus supportive parents, plus a legion of healthcare professionals. She knew every medication she was on. She knew the side effects of them. She knew exactly what postpartum depression was. This is fucking insane.

Literally the most knowledgeable person on the subject of motherhood and pediatric health, with the most amount of resources and the greatest social network was failed by the system??????

Bro, this is literally mind blowing how this lady doesn’t have the death penalty?

I have a lot of frustration to get off my chest; I'm disgusted. Lindsay Clancy is the perverse depiction of everything I hate about modern day society and the monolithic thinking. Lindsay Clancy's immense privilege disgusts me on a primordial level: a highly educated, well-off New Englander with multiple healthcare providers, a nanny, a supportive husband, and supportive parents kills her three kids and women with the exact same background as her literally rush to defend her.

I'm being honest: wealthy white women BY FAR have the most social privilege I have ever seen. No other group comes close to the level of coddling that wealthy white women get. White men ARE NOT the most privileged group. Not at all. I never bought into that nonsense about the white male patriarchy. No white man could ever get away with the obscene levels of evil Lindsay Clancy has committed. I remember how the Chris Watts case was open and shut. The one thing about the passport bro/ modern dating discussion's sphere is that all men are in the same boat regardless of any intersectional differences. And I will be the first to admit that wealthy white women are straight up more privileged than white men, any white man could be thrown under the bus by a false accusation or public smear campaign as any POC male could.

We have a pandemic of social parasitism where women weaponize their looks and in-group biases to increasingly gain greater social positioning and habitually line step. I'm sorry to say that there's a small group of hyper powerful wealthy women sheparding the rest of the female population to help their own personal advancement and add to their personal gain.

I'm being honest: how has feminism ever really helped women of color? In the 1960s, feminists like Gloria Steinman pushed the sexual revolution and the free love movement; likewise, her compatriots argued that women were trapped to domestic life to live as housewives and "bangmaids". I find that stupid because the feminist movement is almost entirely from the perspective of wealthy, white women. What black woman in the 1950s-1960s lived sequestered in a home as a "bangmaid"? Most women of color HAD to work and didn't have nearly a fraction of the resources and aspirations as the founding members of the various waves of feminism. Feminists were fighting for self-actualization meanwhile POC women worked double shifts as ACTUAL maids to put food on the table. Yet somehow POC women were psy-opped by rich white women into somehow believing they were all equal in their oppression.

I'm being honest, if I were a woman, I'd hate Lindsay Clancy. Imagine all the single mothers with multiple kids out there that work 3 jobs and bust their ass to provide for their kids. I actually know one. There's a lady I know who works 3 jobs (two full time jobs: one at night shift, one on day shift, and a part time gig on the weekends.) She literally never sleeps. I don't know how she's still alive. However, she's always smiling and happy, but she virtually has no support. Yet she loves her kids. It's just her in the world. Father of the kids is not in the picture. She's white btw. I'm not saying all white women are like this. Working class white women don't have privilege to that extreme. It's a very particular group of highly educated, wealthy, professional class, often liberal women who happen to be white.

I think what bothers me the most of the Lindsay Clancy case is that there's not nearly enough backlash from across the aisle. The vocal supporters of her are rich white women. Yet I see only men from all backgrounds speaking against her (white, black, hispanic, asian) yet I have not seen any pushback from POC women/ working class white women which is extremely alarming. Are women in-group biases so strong that as long as a woman is actively cheating the system it's preferable than the majority of women never personally being able to exploit that same system?

This is my hot take.

It's a genuine question. I genuinely don't go out of my way to enter women's spaces to argue with them or to debate them? I feel like women are incandescently drawn to male spaces like catnip or something. I feel like deep down they love the adrenaline, the spike in their emotions and it satiates some primordial desire within them to argue with us and invade our spaces. However, I just find it funny it can't happen in reverse. Men can't go into a myriad of subreddits. There's hundreds of subreddits where only women can join. This needs to be seriously studied.
