The Lindsay Clancy Feminists

Posted on | August 21, 2026 | No Comments

In case you’re not following the courtroom drama:

Lindsay Clancy is a Massachusetts mother on trial for the January 2023 strangulation deaths of her three children. Her defense argues she suffered from postpartum psychosis and lacks criminal responsibility, while the prosecution contends she planned the killings.

That’s the AI summary of a USA Today story, and the weird thing — the creepy, scary thing — is that there are women taking the killer’s side of the case. Women are actually rallying outside the courtroom in support of this murderer. And, of course, blaming her husband for it.

The facts of the case are irrelevant to this; Lindsay’s supporters aren’t about facts, they’re about emotion. The core premise of their argument is very simple: No woman is ever responsible for anything.

This has always been what feminism sought — woman’s complete exemption from responsibility — so that nothing is every their fault. Whatever a woman may do wrong, there’s always a man to blame for it.

As the ideological basis of a political movement, the Eternal Victimhood of Women offers certain advantages, but when you try to build your own personal life around such a idea, the result is misery. Feminism is simply the organization of unhappiness for political purposes, and if the embrace of feminist ideology only makes women more miserable, that’s a win-win for the movement: More misery equals more power.

If you have studied psychology at all, you understand that the most important thing to good mental health is the sense of personal agency, the belief that you are in control of your own life, that you can make choices as an individual to make your life better, that the most important person in your life is you. While this may at first glance appear to be a possible justification for selfishness, or an appeal to “rugged individualism,” it’s really not that at all. It’s a formula for mental health based on a thoughtful examination of what makes people crazy.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a renowned expert on the subject of craziness. Glenn Reynolds once lamented, “Yes, we live in a world where Stacy McCain has to tell us not to be crazy.” The worst craziness is paranoid schizophrenia, in which the patient imagines that they are menaced by a conspiracy of sinister forces. This is the extreme example of what happens if you lose your sense of personal agency, and start thinking that you are not in control of your own life. Deny your own personal responsibility and begin blaming all your problems on someone else, and next thing you know, you might be ranting insanely about CIA mind-control, the Freemasons, the Jews, or some invisible demonic power as the explanation of everything. You know, like Candace Owens.

In earlier, more primitive times, America put its lunatics in asylums, with straitjackets, padded cells, etc. Now all the lunatics have podcasts, which some would call progress, but I’m skeptical. At any rate, it’s never a good idea to encourage the victimhood mentality, to tell people that they are not to blame for their personal problems because they are oppressed by structural racism, capitalist hegemony, or the “Zionist entity,” because that kind of blame-game thinking inevitably leads to insanity.

Let us return to the case of Lindsay Clancy. Is post-partum depression a real thing? Yes, it is. Can it turn into full-blown psychosis? In some cases, yes. Should we be sympathetic to the struggles of women dealing with post-partum depression? Yes, of course. But do we want to turn this sympathy into a “Get Out of Jail Free” card for murderers? No, we do not.

This is what the pro-Lindsay Clancy crowd are trying to do, to make us think that she is the victim, rather than the three helpless children she strangled to death. And this is where feminism has led us, to a society in which murder is viewed as justifiable, if the killer is a woman.

Remember, folks: Crazy People Are Dangerous.
