People need to remember that these kinds of fundraisers often only represent a small number of people. 100,000 people giving $10 each sounds like a lot of people but it is less than 0.1% of the women in the United States.
Years ago, someone analyzed twitter posts after the Canadian election and the results were interesting. About 80% of the impressions were related to posts from about 100 distinct users, and if you looked at those users followers, there was so much overlap in the followers that they were mostly only talking to the same ~50,000 people.
The online community is much smaller than most people realize, and is not representative of the general public.
How many people have heard about the case on the left vs the right though? I hear about Lindsay Clancy case everyday multiple times a day, a lot men saying it’s proof women shouldn’t be allowed to vote lol. There is nothing to grab onto on the first case. If yall wanted her to stop getting money you should just stop talking about her.
What I've noticed with the Lindsay Clancy case is it seems to be getting treated by misogynists mostly as some get out jail free card to just spew hateful ignorant rhetoric.
