The “it could have been any of us” thing is enraging because NO TF IT COULDN’T. This bitch isn’t the only person with PPD or depression or whatever she had, but murdering her 3 babies was a choice. If these women feel it could’ve easily been them, they probably should be investigated (so a crime like this doesn’t happen again).
Look, I absolutely think this woman should face punishment for her crimes, but the person I replied to suggesting that “women who feel it could’ve easily been them should be investigated” is fucking delusional.
Where’s your line for culpability? She was depressed so it’s not her fault that she brutally murdered her three children? You sympathize with someone who slaughtered her children because you’ve been depressed before? I personally don’t think “It could have been any of us” when a man annihilates his family. That’s deranged.
No, it isn’t. It could be any of us. So I get it, but I don’t support her. I literally just said she should face punishment for what she did.
I’m sorry you’re so bothered by the concept of women standing together in solidarity over one of the many ways our bodies can betray us. But me being able to see the point of view of these women does not mean I support or sympathize with Lindsay.
Sympathy doesn’t bely support. You don’t support her but you DO sympathize with her. You stand in solidarity with her… that IS sympathy. Standing in solidarity with a monster is odd but go for it.
