We cannot tolerate the idea that a mother is capable of such a monstrous crime, so we try to find justifications

CNN Portugal commentator Suzana Garcia analyzed the case of Lindsay Clancy, the American mother accused of killing her children, arguing that society tends to seek justifications for crimes committed by mothers, which she considers a "disservice to the feminist cause" and a form of "infantilizing women." According to Garcia, the difficulty in accepting that a mother could commit such a heinous crime leads people to try to find explanations for such acts.
