I don't know why people are bashing this lady, she is merely a victim, a foolish one may e, but still a victim nonetheless.
When the system doesn't work, people resort to what gives them hope, no matter how little.
“Patriarchy didn’t strangle three children with exercise bands. Lindsay Clancy did.
Calling this ‘pure unadulterated brutal misogyny’ and ‘patriarchy’s biggest hit’ is an insult to the dead kids and to every mother who faces real stress without murdering anyone.
Facts, not feelings: She asked her husband to leave the house on timed errands (restaurant farther than usual + pharmacy).
Prosecutors present that as deliberate creation of opportunity.
She had already received extensive psychiatric care: multiple providers, a stack of prescriptions, inpatient admission at McLean Hospital, and discharge 19 days earlier. She repeatedly denied homicidal or suicidal plans to clinicians.
Journal entries and phone activity show resentment toward the older children and research activity consistent with planning.
Post-incident evaluations by forensic psychiatrists described her as clear-headed and oriented enough to ask for a lawyer and inquire about her body.
She was a labor-and-delivery nurse. She knew the medical language and the system better than most.
She had a husband present in the home, access to specialized postpartum care, and family.
The claim that she was ‘failed by every institution until she met her lawyer’ is selective storytelling. Institutions treated her; she still executed the act.
Allo-parenting is real evolutionary biology, humans are cooperative breeders. That does not magically erase agency.
Millions of mothers throughout history raised children with far less support and did not kill them.
Mental illness (including rare postpartum psychosis) is serious and can be mitigating in court. It is not a free pass to reframe deliberate filicide as systemic ‘misogyny’ or proof that society is ‘psychopathic.’
If the defense of insanity succeeds, that is a legal question for the jury based on evidence of her mental state at the time.
Turning the courtroom into a morality play about 12,000 years of patriarchy does the opposite of helping vulnerable mothers. It teaches that when a woman commits the ultimate failure of care, the real culprit is always an abstract system rather than the person who held the bands.
Accountability is not gendered. Adults, whether male or female should own their actions.
Excusing catastrophic maternal violence as the inevitable product of ‘a world that hates nurturing’ removes the very pressure that keeps most people from crossing that line.
I was going to buy bread and I asked madam if she wanted ewa Agoyin, she said no.
I got for myself only and this woman came with, "what is smelling that nice" when I wanted to start eating.
I have sha finished my beans alone.
Next time, say you don't want again 😤
Sowore is not entirely wrong though.
Never in the life of me have I ever thought a Nigerian state would have someone as Adeleke as governor.
He might be a good person with a great personality, but he has no business leading a state.
We always confuse money and philantropy as the recipe for leadership and that's totally flawed.
Sky Sport's supercomputer has predicted Arsenal to defend the Premier League title.
I think it's time to throw that computer away, it has outlived its usefulness.

Not a fan of the president, but you cannot deny how much he is trying to do.
Again, Nigeria is not really short of policies or action plans, the problem has always been implementation.
We hear and we do not see.
Breads made like are always healthier than the ones made in perfect hygienic condition.
The bread itself is healthy, but you won't be healthy after eating it for long.
If Marcus Rashford is staying at Manchester United, then the message from the stands has to be clear and consistent.
Support him fully while he wears the shirt.
No mixed messages. No selective applause. No waiting for the next rumour to decide whether he’s “one of us” this week.
He’s a Manchester lad, academy product, and still under contract. As long as he’s training, selected, and representing the club, he deserves the same backing every other player gets.
Backing the team means backing the players in it, especially when the situation has been complicated for a while.
Whatever happened under previous regimes is done. Carrick is in charge now. Rashford is returning to the fold. Give him a clean slate and the support that helps a player settle and perform.
If he’s here, he’s ours. Simple as that.
