Amid the Lindsay Clancy trial madness this week, I’ve seen a lot of social media posts from predominantly young women saying something to the effect of: “We see ourselves in Lindsay Clancy,” and “We are all Lindsay Clancy.”

Actually, no, all women don’t identify with a woman who allegedly strangled her three little kids to death.
