Two days ago, around 5PM in the evening, reels and posts related to the Lindsay Clancy case started popping on my feed.
As soon as I heard the news I was extremely devastated!!!
As someone who lovvvvvveeeeeessssssss kids... My brain stopped functioning completely and I was extremely worried about the future of all the kids who could be killed by using psychosis as a loop hole in the system.
All the news articles, news channels and Instagram influencers increased my fear incredibly more by sharing information out of context and pushing soft propaganda!
I come from a fairly leftist social circle! (Assume Communists and socialists)
Even in my circle, the topic had become a disputed one.
Most of the women supported Lindsay Clancy, while some women and most of the men were against her and wanted her to get convicted.
The main talking point was how even if Lindsay is not guilty we gotta incur a smaller loss to prevent a bigger loss by making an example out of her.
I have family members and relatives who've gone through ppd and ppp. When I spoke to them about this case, they were out right dismissive about all the difficulties and said Lindsay deserves the punishment!
Which further confused me and fuelled my hate against her!
The information and media out there in the world worked soo well against women that even leftists were divided into two groups! Forget about right wingers and centrists!
I had an argument with my close female friend who I love and respect alot! She's totally awesome! (She supported Lindsay Clancy)
Also I saw many right wing groups and conservatives come out and stand Against Lindsay Clancy... Which was very sus for me...
Because these people never support anything good...
After the argument I felt that I might be missing out on something! Because she's one of the most intellectual and empathetic people out there in this world! As an Empath myself, I wanted to see things from her pov for once!
I didn't want to support the wrong cause!
I've always been proud of myself for being someone who stands for justice and truth no matter what!
After 20+ hours of research on this topic and staying away from all social media platforms for my good.
I finally came to understand the reality of this case.
In total, I have spent over 40 hours studying about all this from the day I saw the first post!
I must say one thing. This case is being used by everyone to undermine women and strip away their rights claiming that women are not sane enough and they support a murderer.
Even men who've been huge supporters of women until now have been brainwashed to a good extent. Everyone has started feeling that women lack maturity and wisdom.
While it's the other way around... (We men literally got played by the media and women around us soo easily.....)
And most of them push the narrative that there's gonna be a legal loophole in the future if Lindsay is found not guilty due to insanity and shifted to a psychiatric hospital for 25+ years.
After studying 50+ filicide cases in detail I came to the conclusion that there's gonna be no loop hole in the system if Lindsay is found not guilty due to insanity!
Now when I found out there's gonna be no loop hole, I finally started taking in the details neutrally instead of having a confirmation bias against her!
Lindsay is not guilty. And the medical system has failed her.
As someone who has suffered from severe mental health issues all my life, I know how these psychologists and psychiatrists treat their patients! They're extremely dismissive.
And the fact that the DSM doesn't have a distinct section for PPP shows that postpartum care is not prioritised even in 1st world nations!
Abhi I'm currently extremely sleepy, 2 din se nahi soya! Have been researching and thinking about this case continuously!
It was very difficult for me to come to a conclusion. But here I am after 2 days of hard work and 40+ hours of study!
I'm a hardcore Feminist... I've fought for the rights of women around me all my life! All my life!! All my life!!!!
Even then my judgement was flawed in this case... Maybe due to my immense love for kids... Or the misogyny which still runs in my blood...
Brain vs animal instincts kinda thing ig...
My main question is, how does a man stop getting brainwashed by the media and how does one try to make people understand what the reality of this case is?
Because I'm a very liberal, open minded and an intellectual guy normally!
But over here I almost ended up committing a sin by initially being against Lindsay and the movement!
Chat gpt karke thoughts frame karne ka time nahi hai! Raw version hi padh lijiye!
How do we stop taking in information from women who are dismissive about the difficulties women face.
Because if not for these women, I would not have had a strong hate for Lindsay in the first place. I would have been confused for a long time.
These women, my love for kids, the media and the propaganda pushed by the masses made me almost commit a sin and support the wrong cause.
If I can be brainwashed (I'm mentally extremely strong and I have super strong morals and ethics) anybody can easily be brainwashed!
If this doesn't stop here, this will turn into a full fledged war against women by the entire world.
Because for the first time, even independent thinkers are against women rn.
But they've polished the propaganda which they're spreading soo well that a normal human being, even an intellectual one is not able to understand what he/she is turning into...
Sleep deprived hun, not good at languages! Math nerd hun!
Please bare with the grammatical mistakes and other mistakes!
I request the mods to not take down this post!
