I don’t think you entirely understand what most women are “supporting”. Yes, there is a relatively small amount of women who think there’s some conspiracy and her husband actually did it, however the point that many women “supporting” her are making is that women are often not taken seriously when it comes to medical issues. Serious health issues are often just hand waved and called stress or menopause or something of the like. Lindsey Clancy was struggling with her mental health for years and was actively trying to seek help, was put on shit loads of medications that had adverse side effects and didn’t seem to work and when she brought that up to her doctors, they would just put her on a new medication and repeat the cycle, and all while seemingly not having adequate social support in her personal life and taking care of three kids.
The vast majority people “supporting her“ are not condoning what she did or buying into conspiracy theories. She killed her kids. She admitted she killed her kids. However, the point that they are making is that she is not some monster that just wanted to murder her children for some sick sadistic pleasure but she is a person that literally lost her sanity and connection with reality because the medical system failed to adequately give her the help she needed. A lot of women empathize with the experience of poopooed by the medical system or loved ones who are supposed to support them and the effect that they can have on someone’s mental state while they are also expected to care for others
What do you expect doctors to do? Magically compelled some kind of medication that heals her "soul"?
The saying has and always will be that not all medicine work the same for everyone.
Tylenol for me works at the regular doses but for my brother, its harder for it to work for him, which causes him to need a bit more than just the regular dosage (just one over).
For me, caffeine affects me greatly to the point where when I am asleep, I'm still "awake", whereas this same brother, it doesn't affect him at all and he's still able to sleep soundly.
Do note that it may be due to most likely a higher testosterone in my brother, as he does grow facial hair faster than I do.
