A woman strangles her three children — a five-year-old, a three-year-old, and an eight-month-old baby — with exercise bands in her basement. And right now, there is a national movement campaigning for her to walk free.
Not “hoping she gets help.” Not “praying for the family.” Freeing her.
Her name is Lindsay Clancy. The hashtags are #FreeLindsay and #FreeHer. And the question this case forces you to answer isn’t whether she’s guilty — she did it, and nobody disputes it — it’s why a society that would burn a father alive for the exact same crime is organizing to make a mother into a martyr.
That answer has nothing to do with the law, and everything to do with how we’ve been trained to see women. Let me show you what’s actually happening in that courtroom.

The data says young people were sold one deal and delivered another. "Do well in school, work hard, follow the rules, climb the ladder — and the American Dream is yours." Then the number that makes the lie undeniable: the suicide rate for Americans aged 10–24 rose 62% from 2007 to 2021. Not because they're soft. Because the deal was renegotiated behind their backs — in 1971.
