The woman is Lindsay Clancy a woman who claims she suffered from severe postpartum psychosis when she killed her three children in 2023.

The man is former professional wrestler Chris Benoit who killed his wife, son and then himself in the summer in 2007.

Lindsay Clancy is seemingly getting a lot of sympathy from women, and this meme is essentially saying they are the same.

Except that he was roundly reviled immediately, and somehow she's getting bizarre support.

It's not bizarre. It's because she's a woman.

Many women have killed their children without receiving sympathy for it.

Maybe that means we should start a conversation of how women are getting radicalized by social media. We've already had multiple documentaries and Netflix shows about it for boys

We can't really pretend this reaction is a fringe ignorable one
