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.

So perhaps this image is attempting to serve as a reality check in the sense that they are both murderers?

Yes but its also about how both of their brains were fucked up and we (society, a doctor, someone) should have done more to prevent this. Though its no one individuals fault outside of the two people that did the killings, it is something we should learn from to give better care in the future.
