00:00:00.180Hello, Malcolm. I'm very excited to be speaking with you today because recently a woman was executed in Tennessee.
00:00:08.480She is the first woman in the state to be executed in over 200 years and the first person in Tennessee who has been executed in the modern era for a crime committed at age 18.
00:00:20.480So this only happened after her defenders went all the way to the Supreme Court to try to halt this process.
00:00:27.440and you know to be someone so singular to be getting the death penalty as a woman is
00:00:31.940you know you've done something wrong we'll get into it you guys are gonna love this she survived
00:00:37.540after two attempts it appears they didn't hit her veins because medical staff are not allowed to do
00:00:44.080this so if somebody was out enough medical training who was working on it they had failed
00:00:49.000in the same way with another execution recently in the same area this doesn't mean she gets out
00:00:56.580of her execution but you guys know how this works but meanwhile lindsey clancy's lawyer is now trying
00:01:04.240to claim that there's insufficient evidence that she even killed her children despite she said she
00:01:10.000didn't everybody well and all the evidence the dna evidence as well um it's kind of unhinged
00:01:16.300and i'm like what's going on here why are people trying to stop the execution of a woman who's done
00:01:21.840utterly monstrous things? Why are you trying to claim that a woman who is admitted to murdering
00:01:27.100her own children, that there's no evidence of it? What are you talking about? As a society,
00:01:32.000I feel like we're systematically and openly flubbing justice, just messing it up. And it
00:01:38.080has me trying to work out how we should actually address crime and punishment, not only because
00:01:42.720people keep trying to undo punishments slated for women who have committed horrific crimes,
00:01:47.960meant to, obviously, but I'm focusing on the prominent cases right now. But because we're
00:01:52.460entering a period of insane disruption, so it's an important thing for us to be talking about now
00:01:57.640because we may be in a position somewhat in the near future to actually rethink justice systems.
00:02:03.160So conversations that get started now could result in some kind of change. We should be
00:02:09.560discussing this. And I do also have this low-grade, deep fear that women lie at the heart of a1.00
00:02:17.780larger problem which is one criminals not being caught and two dangerous people not being dealt
00:02:23.720with effectively and there's also this deeper more scared part of me that after you did your episode
00:02:29.900on women killing children that women are just getting away with a ton of crimes primarily
00:02:36.400because the people that women kill are people in their family and probably children and they're0.99
00:02:43.540just like, I don't know what happened. Like, you know, they're able much more easily than men0.96
00:02:49.240killing strangers to explain it away as an accident, if you know what I mean. And I looked
00:02:55.120at this one FBI data study covering 1976 to 1987 that found 60% of women's homicide victims were
00:03:03.420a spouse, intimate partner, acquaintance, or family member, while 80% of men's victims were
00:03:09.520non-intimate acquaintances strangers or under undetermined relationship kind of people were
00:03:15.160like it's not clear if they knew each other or not so the vast majority of people men are killing
00:03:19.520kind of don't really know them well the vast majority of women of people that women are caught
00:03:24.940killing emphasis on the caught part people they know extremely well and what made me disturbed
00:03:33.000is this study excluded victims under age 15 so it's not a measure of child killings i know why
00:03:39.660which women do disproportionately yes yes and so i'm like hold on also why are you like specifically
00:03:44.780like we're not looking in this like places where you know the numbers would be the the biggest i
00:03:50.220know and it makes me very very very uncomfortable and so okay well well the study excluded victims
00:03:58.300under 15, it's not a measure of child killings, but young children specifically for looking at
00:04:04.680them, there's this 2023 Department of Justice report that estimates that 76.2% of homicide
00:04:10.520victims age 11 or younger were killed by an other family member. But then this study also doesn't
00:04:18.880tell us who that other family member is. They just categorized as family member. And so I feel like
00:04:25.840there's this systematic covering up of the fact that no this is women because i don't i don't know
00:04:33.260why they're doing it but anyway this is just like you don't know why anthropologists are trying to
00:04:38.460hide how horrible women are you don't know i could i could give you a guess well these are
00:04:43.880criminologists as well why why these fields are overwhelmingly female and woke so you think that1.00
00:04:51.660They're just trying to hide this all.1.00
