The Lindsay Clancy Case Shows Why Civilization Must Reject Feminine “Ethics”

The jury system cannot survive moral illogic and the refusal of objectivity

Janice Fiamengo, Sep 26, 2026

It’s difficult to assess the prevalence of the Clancy phenomenon, in which a female-dominated consensus, sentimental and vicious, formed swiftly around the alleged suffering and humanity of a woman who killed her three children in a premeditated act.

A YouGov poll from early in September showed that the difference between men’s and women’s reactions to the trial was not as stark as one might have expected from the public furor (women were more likely by about 10 points to support a verdict of not guilty).

But it’s fair to say that the thousands of women—and a few men—expressing impassioned identification with Clancy represent at least a troubling minority whose voices are dangerously amplified in our public culture. Their self-righteous emotionalism corrodes the priority of reason in public life, especially the commitment to equality before the law.

The centering of women’s suffering has a long history. Here, I focus on one relatively little known, but powerful, influence that highlights the connection between feminist rationalizations of abortion and Clancy supporters’ tacit acceptance of child-murder.

Feminism is a hateful, dangerous ideology

‘Feminism is a Hateful & Dangerous Ideology that is Destroying the West. Janice Fiamengo‘

Feminism is in an unending war against men, families and civilisation. It is undermining our society, destroying relationships between men and women, making both males and females unhappy – and it is destroying our institutions.

So says Prof. Janice Fiamengo, a retired professor from the University of Ottawa, a former feminist and the author of the new book “The Goddess That Failed: Feminism’s Unending War Against Men, Families and Civilization Itself”.

Men are simply guilty – no discussion

Television personality Marc Fennell is running a series on SBS about the manosphere. It’s the usual superficial, biased stuff about how figures like Andrew Tate influence young men. To most men, types like Andrew Tate are shallow, contemptible males who would only influence a minority of weak-minded, dependent boys who lack the guidance of the right men.

Most men are concerned about the destructive bias against males across all sectors of society, a state brought about by the success of the Great Feminisation, as Helen Andrews has outlined. This is where the substantial dialogue is.

Many boys are hearing the complaints of their male seniors, as well as that of mothers, sisters, and girlfriends who are appalled at the vicious treatment of their men. It’s no use telling a son or a daughter who love their father that he is essentially vicious.

Foremost among feminism’s critics is Janice Fiamengo, who appears here alongside like-minded colleagues. This is a compelling discussion.

The Goddess That Failed: Feminism’s Unending War against Men, Families, and Civilization Itself by Janice Fiamengo

Janice Fiamengo was once a true believer, completing a PhD with specialization in feminist literature and theory. Her reading as a university student convinced her that women had been unjustly oppressed for centuries, and that empowered women would lead their societies into a better future. Then she confronted the reality of female rage, false claims, the denial of merit, shattered families, and heartbroken fathers. She saw young men blatantly discriminated against in academic hiring. She came to see that feminism is a false god that leads women to hate by telling them that they are victims. She has spent the past decade alerting men and women to its dangers.

In these richly-supported chapters, Fiamengo shows why feminism has nothing to do with gender equality. It is a radical ideology that seeks sexual license, unearned economic privileges, and freedom from adult accountability for women. It enforces economic servitude, shame, and legal disempowerment for men. It impugns male goodness while excusing female wrongdoing; even worse, it encourages women to be their worst selves while telling men that they can never be good enough. Feminism thus destroys the very thing it claims to seek: true reciprocity between the sexes.

Feminism Cannot be Reformed

It must be destroyed, root and branch

Janice Fiamengo, Aug 05, 2026

Feminism poses a threat to everything good in western culture, perhaps especially to women’s capacity to love, reason, and exercise self-restraint.

I was an adherent of feminism before I became a critic. I have felt its euphoric exultation and its self-flattering conviction of moral purity. Later, I recognized its hubris and moral hollowness.

I am familiar with feminism’s core texts, from Mary Wollstonecraft to Mary Anne Franks, having studied them and believed in them for years. I understand the psychology and the history of the movement because I lived inside it for many years.

Unlike others who have criticized feminism’s excesses, I contend that although there are some moderate feminists, there was never a moderate feminism inspired by reasonable goals and untainted by anti-male fanaticism. Feminism did not go wrong at some point in history, whether after the Second Wave or before, whether in anti-sex or pro-sex zeal. It was always rooted in resentment and envy, warped by utopian longings and false notions of female moral superiority.
