The most revealing part of the Lindsay Clancy juror interviews wasn’t the viral line about the holdout juror. It was the coffee cart. The “we read him.” The frustration that he wouldn’t join the group. In this episode I explain what that reveals about conformity, the “good mother” halo, what the prosecution was really fighting—and how the holdout juror might actually have persuaded the women to side with him.

Why you can't argue her out of feminism, facts won't work, these are the steps you need to take at an individual level if you're in a relationship with a feminist, and at a societal level to stop creating them. This is a good example of how the feminist mindset is entrenched and what would help:

This is a compilation of videos circulating online of women raging or hurting their kids or staring blankly into space while holding their infants, claiming: "I'm so mentally unwell I can't even care for my child, and this is how common postpartum depression is. This is what childbirth does.” “Same, Lindsay.” #Lindsayclancy Many of these posts are tagged with #PPDawareness, pushing the narrative that women have always suffered like this in silence, and that this level of severe instability is just "how common suffering actually is." If this new "awareness" successfully convinces the world that motherhood is an inherently dangerous state that drives women to violent hair-trigger rage or total dysfunction, what does that mean for women? How do we keep children and society safe? Should every woman undergo mandatory psychiatric screening before becoming a mother? Should new mothers be barred from returning to work, or forbidden from serving as doctors, judges, or police officers if they take antidepressants? If women are painted as a demographic capable of snapping without warning and that this is widespread and previously hidden you are describing a group of people no society could safely trust with authority or responsibility. This isn't genuine advocacy, I doubt they care about Clancy or her kids, look how easily they harm their own. This is the aggressive protection of victimhood status. Many supporters of Lindsay Clancy are pushing so hard against the evidence because they are terrified of the alternative: a woman being held legally responsible rather than excused as a "victim of biology." The core premise of this radical ideology is that every woman is inherently capable of greatness, and if she fails or harms her child, she must be a helpless victim of her biology or society. Every woman is loving and if she isn’t- society is asking too much of her. Except this is what women are made to do. If your goal is to protect women's parental autonomy, you cannot take the normal stress and sacrifice we all experience as mothers and elevate it to postpartum rage, psychosis, and depression. Extreme postpartum conditions are just not as common as social media trends make them out to be, and sacrificing accountability to gain victimhood status for an imaginary collective identity - women- will do a lot of harm to your own cause and to everyone.

A train ticket gave her “the ick.” The “ick” signals emotional immaturity, an idealized version of the man that's doomed to shatter the moment he stops performing, and also a way of signaling value to other women: "my standards are so high that ordinary male behavior disgusts me." That and more in the recent Psychobabble epsiode!

In the Lindsay Clancy trial, postpartum psychosis has become the central psychiatric explanation. But what does a severe psychotic break actually look like? Can someone really appear completely normal, then become floridly psychotic, then appear normal again as they are trying to claim? Here I walk through the “fluctuating symptoms” and “masking” argument, and why I think the definition of psychosis is being stretched in a way we would not accept in other cases.

Whenever I critique feminism, suddenly I'm "defining it wrong." "That isn't what feminism means to me," I'm told. The movement's greatest strength is this rhetorical sleight of hand. The ability to morph and redefine itself on demand lets it avoid any point of attack and makes it immune to criticism.

The greatest improvement I ever saw in a patient with Borderline Personality Disorder didn't come from a new therapeutic technique. After 2 years of interventions to reduce her emotional pain had failed, what worked was an environement where the incentive to escalate dissapeared.

He sent a voice memo asking about sex on the second date, and it sparked outrage because of what I’d call weaponized consent. But I think part of what made women so uncomfortable was that he forced them to confront the consequences of their own behavior. You can’t spend the first date being suggestive, then act scandalized when a man says out loud that what he wants is sex.
