Like many Americans, I've been watching the Lindsay Clancy jury spectacle play out with a mixture of sadness and absolute disgust, with the mainstream media stooping to new lows with the apparent doxxing of the lone holdout (male) juror, and some of the female jurors trashing him in disgraceful Oprah-style interviews for having the audacity to disagree with their conclusions about the trial.
While it's hard to know what's worse in terms of what we've seen from some of the jurors who have spoken out so far, ranking right up there was juror Paula Devlin, who indicated she was on the not guilty by reason of insanity bandwagon because she was trying "to make it better for other women," as RedState's Kyle Becker reported.
“We knew that this was a turning point, and this would be something that could change something to make it better for other women. You know, justice for those children is this never happening again," she proclaimed.
For those who missed it, watch:

There are also the "Xanax moms" who, as my colleague Teri Christoph correctly pointed out, are a "pro-Lindsay Clancy cult" who "desire to be the main character in a true crime story" - and who have gone too far with their wild claims about ex-husband Patrick Clancy and anyone else - especially women - who want to see real justice done in this case for those three precious young children who Lindsay Clancy admits she killed.
One thing that has really annoyed me about the debate surrounding the mistrial, evidence, etc has been the undercurrent tone of "women must always support women," with the insinuation being that if they don't, their commitment to the so-called "sisterhood" will get called into question.
At one time, long ago, I considered myself a feminist. But once I had a wake-up call, rejected feminism and liberalism, and joined up with the "dark side" (conservatism), I haven't given a rat's patootie about my woman creds being questioned by these types of people.
I haven't regretted it for a single second, especially when I figured out that nine times out of 10, it was conservative women who get questioned on their womanhood, far more so than leftist women do. And again, the questions usually surround a conservative woman's nerve in refusing to ask, "How high?" when the herd leader says, "Jump!"
Conservative women, any woman, really, who chooses to think for themselves rather than go along with the crowd should be applauded, not ridiculed.
I remember when Hillary Clinton ran for president both times, and how the mainstream media and leftist pundits were all salivating over the possibility that a well-known female candidate could potentially break "the glass ceiling."
And they treated women who didn't support her with contempt, including the Democrat women who preferred some of the male candidates over her. It wasn't about winning in the arena of ideas for the pro-Hillary types; it was about shaming other women who didn't feel the same into compliance. Obviously, that didn't work out too well.
When the MeToo movement rolled around, the same thing happened. If you were a woman and you didn't unquestioningly jump aboard, you were betraying victims of sexual harassment and assault. Fascinatingly (but not surprisingly), some of the same women who backed trying men in the court of public opinion without a trial also believed in criminal justice reform to the extent of allowing violent criminals to go free because of "feelings" or something. Go figure.
And here we are again, with the Clancy trial, with the Usual Suspects (including the cultists and other various and assorted AWFL types) lined up to condemn any woman who doesn't fall in line. Being a woman who has dealt with wild hormonal fluctuations, I should "understand" Lindsay Clancy, in their view. I should have sympathy for her, in their opinion.
I reject the idea that postpartum depression or psychosis or whatever it is they say she went through should be used as a get out of jail free card. Unlike the Paula Devlins of this world, I don't think that helps women. Something else that doesn't help women? Treating them as though they are a monolith who should all think with the same brain. No thanks.
