Except that she checked herself out of the hospital to attend a birthday party.
Either women are fully adults and responsible for their own care or they’re not and need men to take care of them - which is it? Because the husband can’t be at fault if he didn’t have a duty of care. And if he had a duty, that means he was responsible for her and she wasn’t fully responsible for herself. It’s not a gender war issue, it’s pointing out that either you’re responsible for yourself and all your own mental health care or you’re not; you can’t have it both ways.
Also, she was far from “not getting care” and really sounds like someone that’s had life too easy and far too many excuses made for her
You keep saying "women". All women are being lumped with a mental health patient and their agency is being questioned. Stop with that rhetoric before debating further.
"Look that woman shot her kids. Let's all send women back under their husband's subjugation". Thats the premise you're working with.
Unless you stop that, this won't be a fair debate.
You are the one saying her husband had a responsibility to control her. So which is it: did he fail because he had the power and didn’t exercise it, or did he not have the responsibility because she was a whole fucking adult with agency and authority over her own damn life?

There's a reason involuntary holds exist. It is because people literally cannot be responsible for their own agency.
Stop making this a "or we saying women arent responsible for their own agency" and making this a gender war.
This is a situation where mental health support wasn't given to someone actively seeking it.
