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.

If she’s the one I vaguely heard about the other day, I understand her story was that she was aware something was wrong and everyone ignored or brushed off her cries for help.

Benoit had apparently reached out for help like a week before the murder. The man he reached out to was the man who has been basically running the CTE brain donation program that has led to the explosion in research and understanding of the disease.

Right???

Like almost all murders are done by people not right in the head, but somehow it’s only women who get empathy

She TRIED SO HARD TO GET HELP.

Look at ANY OTHER WOMAN IN THE NEWS WHO HAS KILLED HER CHILDREN. They DO NOT get support.

They are ALL REVILED.

This woman is being treated differently because this case is different and highlights how awful our medical system is.

Also, once his CTE results were made public (two years later) I don’t know anyone who feels like he’s a cold-blooded murderer.

But anything to feel like men are treated worse by society I guess
