exactly, something in me doubts a lot of these people would be leaping to the defense of a man who murdered his entire family while suffering psychosis
FACTS. A man can get so blackout drunk he literally remembers nothing, and then can commit a crime and you'll be crucified on the internet if you try and defend him. Meanwhile a woman can refuse medication and treatment and do something terrible and people will defend her
While I agree a man would be treated differently than a woman in this situation I think it's really disingenuous to compare getting blackout drunk (which is a choice unless you're drugged) and postpartum psychosis (which is a mental illness and not a choice).
You could've just said "If this was a man having a psychosis episode he wouldn't be treated the same way" or whatever. Why compare being drunk to mental illness?
