So we’re told postpartum hormone crashes + meds helped drive Lindsay Clancy to horrific acts…
Yet somehow blasting massive doses of cross-sex hormones into kids and calling it “gender-affirming care” is risk-free and will have zero massive consequences.
Make it make sense please.
Normalize walking away from women who are Lindsay Clancy fans
Dump them, break off engagements, and make it public
Men, talk to your bros. Do not let them go down the toxic feminist road
We are bringing back public shame
Here it is...100% Undeniable Proof…You can be completely devoted to your religion, wear beards, dress modestly and reject modern society without strapping explosive vests to children.
The fact that leftists use the Handmaid's Tale to protest Christianity while ignoring the fact that it's way more similar to Islam will never not be hilarious to me.
Women are out here making the argument that their hormones make them so crazy that murder is justified, without apparently considering what that argument actually implies about women.
Yes, postpartum hormones can influence mood and mental health. Postpartum psychosis is also a real, documented psychiatric condition.1) It’s very rare (1/2 per 1000 births) 2) neither womanhood nor hormonal fluctuation automatically eliminates agency or criminal responsibility.
Even an insanity defense requires evidence that a person’s mental condition met a specific legal threshold at the time of the crime and not simply evidence that she was postpartum, hormonal, depressed, or mentally ill.
For most of Western history, women were explicitly characterized as irrational, emotionally unstable, and intellectually inferior because of their reproductive biology. “Hysteria” itself was historically associated with the uterus, and women could be institutionalized under extraordinarily broad standards.
So when you argue that a woman’s reproductive biology can make her so fundamentally incapable of controlling herself that she shouldn’t be held accountable for killing someone, you’re resurrecting exactly the premise that female biology makes women less rational, less autonomous, and less responsible for their own decisions than men. It’s the same logic used to excuse black murderers. “They could not help themselves.”
You can’t have it both ways.
Either women are autonomous adults capable of equal participation in society and deserving of equal justice under the law, or we’re fragile creatures governed by hormonal madness who cannot reliably be trusted with the same agency and responsibility afforded to men.
If you genuinely believe the Clancy defense, you’ve constructed a better argument for the paternalism of the 19th century than most 19th-century men ever could.
Congratulations!
The main reason to throw the book at Lindsay Clancy is because every woman like her is plugged into the verdict and will get either a green or a red light to murder her kids, depending on the outcome. Deterrence is a major reason why we punish.
WHEN YOU REALIZE THE BABY BOOM WASN'T JUST SOLDIERS COMING HOME HORNY.
It was soldiers coming home to the GI Bill free college, 0% down home loans, low-interest business loans.
It was strong unions. Pensions. A house that cost 2 years of salary.
It was confidence that the future was actually going to be better than the present.
That's what produced a baby boom. Not romance. Security.
You want a higher birth rate now?
Give people a future where they know their kids will actually be okay.
That's the whole formula. It's not complicated. It's just expensive, and nobody in charge wants to pay for it twice.
Mind you, this evil vile creature was EIGHT MONTHS POSTPARTUM.
NOT THAT IT MATTERS, but she was not in the trenches of the newborn stage like everyone is suggesting. She also had a nanny. And her husband worked from home. And her in laws live close. And her parents live close. And she had access to therapy, meds & countless doctors. She was just evil. That’s it.
If Lindsey Clancey’s hormones made her do it, then giving people massive amounts of cross sex hormones is a dangerous practice.
One can’t be true and not the other.
Unpopular opinion but blaming a crime on postpartum psychosis is like a man blaming his testosterone for rape. Hormones aren't an excuse for horrific acts. The victims are 3 innocent babies. Enough of this crap.
"Lindsay Clancy's husband failed her!!!"
Patrick worked from home to help out
He got his wife premium healthcare
He hired a nanny to help her out
She did not go back to work
