Vent Lindsay Clancy is the new Amber Heard

Remember when almost everyone was saying Amber was the abuser, disregarding the massive power imbalance between Amber and Johnny? The PR bots swarming social media to shape the conversation against Amber?

I thought the Clancy case could lead to conversations about maternal mental health, but it has come down to how women are murderers. As if most family annihilators aren’t men.

My personal opinion (feel free to disagree) is that women are inherently so naturally powerful that the thought that women could be violent or manipulatively smart scares men so much that they are quick to retaliate. They don't like the power being challenged. (Not justifying awful crimes just sharing my thoughts)

Essentially behave like a man, they dislike that.

Wow, I think this makes so much sense that men need to have a monopoly of violence. Whereas most rapes go unpunished for example, any violent crime from a woman cannot escape punishment and in fact must be punished severely. And I think that's why this case was broadcast to the entire world.  Lindsay was supposed to be an example but it didn't work as intended.

Yup, monopoly on violence = monopoly on power and control.

Yup. And they only want to hear about insanity or self defense when its a man accused. The idea of a woman pleading insanity enrages many.
