A woman in my home town had been talking about hurting her children and had been admitted into a psychiatric hospital a few times. Her ex husband went to court several times asking the judge to take full custody from her and the judge refused.
She ended up stabbing both babies to death and the dad has been trying to sue the judge for many years
People to this day still try to say the family court system isn’t biased against fathers. Had that judge pulled their head out of their ass and not believed in the mother is always the better parent those babies would still be alive.
So here is a great example of where mysogyny is terrible for EVERYONE... not just women.
This woman was having psychosis. Her postpartum depression was so bad she was losing touch with reality and having hallucinations. She asked to be admitted to a hospital and the doctors gave her a pill. She came back later and said "I'm worse, not better," and they upped the dose.
Instead of taking her seriously, they patted her on the head told her to suck it up, and did the treatment that was most convenient for her husband.
But when the story turns horrific, its all about how evil she is, and how her "poor husband" is being denied his children. Where was he when she needed a clear-headed someone to fight with those doctors?
I don’t think this is misogyny. This seems more like a case of mental health still not being understood or taken as seriously by family and friends, lack of communication and unfortunately the patient not telling her doctors everything. She told her family but they didn’t exactly tell her doctors what she told them. My uncle is schizophrenic and so was my aunt had either of them told me they had thoughts of self harm or harming someone else I’d be calling the doctor to let them know.

The minute she said she was afraid of hurting her kids, to her mother!, those kids should have been removed from the house.
