Adventures in the Patriarchy™: On Witchcraft and the Lindsay Clancy Case Part II

Chronicling the ongoing intersectional struggle to liberate women — inclusively defined as the legacy kind and transgender — from the Patriarchy™, one microaggression at a time.

Lindsay Clancy, accused child-murderer, has become something of a cause célèbre among the feminist witching community.

TikTok witch after TikTok witch has embraced her as one of their own and cast elaborate spells on her behalf in the name of delivering “justice.”

(They don’t mean “justice” for the murdered children, obviously; those are, at best, collateral damage in the feminist jihad for liberation from The Patriarchy™. At worst, they had it coming for inconveniencing Lindsay as she struggled against the system. And by “the system,” of course, they don’t mean the pharmaceutical industry that drugged her into psychosis; they mean the amorphous Patriarchy™. If anything, according to them, she wasn’t given enough psychotropic medication.)

This charming young lady wearing quintessentially progressive oversized spectacles that highlight her SSRI eyes, in solidarity with her “sister” Lindsay, explicitly invokes the Salem Witch Trials and heralds the “rise of the matriarchy”:

Every one of us that have roots that go back to the Salem Witch Trials, we are freeing our ancestral bloodline by coming together for Lindsay Clancy. That’s why that s**t is happening in Massachusetts; it’s happening right near Salem*. We are coming together and not letting our sister go down for a crime she didn’t commit… The rise of the matriarchy is here. The patriarchy is f***ing dead. We will burn it at the stake.

*Counterargument, just to play devil’s advocate: Lindsay Clancy’s trial is happening “right near Salem” not because of some divine callback to the Salem Witch Trials but because that’s where the defendant allegedly strangled her three children with exercise bands after she sent her husband out to run errands. (She was in full-on psychosis at the time yet had the presence of mind to make sure her husband was

Or the whole melodrama could, equally plausibly, as the TikTok witch claims, be the next chapter in an intergenerational blood feud between witch and patriarch that started four hundred years ago in colonial America.

Either one.

Relatedly, in the context of all of this “justice” talk, I always wonder what the rationale for the claim that Lindsay Clancy didn’t kill the kids might be.

She appears to be well-represented by able attorneys, yet her lawyers have never disputed that she killed the kids. On the contrary, she confessed, and they don’t dispute the confession.

So what’s going on? Is her lawyer in cahoots with the state?

Has The Patriarchy™ that runs the legal system closed ranks to protect their brother, Patrick Clancy, so that Lindsay Clancy might pay for his sins, so they can burn her at the proverbial stake?
