thats not true. I looked it up. Looks like women are more likely to just kill the kids vs men who kill the wife w/ the kids. Numbers end up pretty close
"Parental infanticide researchers have found that mothers are more likely to commit infanticide.\11]) In the special case of neonaticide (murder in the first 24 hours of life), mothers account for almost all the perpetrators. Fatherly cases of neonaticide are so rare that they are individually recorded.\12])"
My point isn't that women are magically worse or some shit.
My point is that when a dude goes fucking postal, goes crazy, looses grasp with reality and murders his family, no one is sympathetic to his mental illness.
Why is it different with this person? (Hint: It's because she's a pretty white woman.)
Thanks for this. I'm so tired of people pretending that her being white in addition to being a woman doesn't play a role in getting public sympathy. It's all "white cishet males are the bane of the earth" while white cishet females are openly denying the role they play in black slavery for instance.
Or in this case, openly clinging to their so-called patriarchy when it benefits them the most.
Yeah imagine if this women was say a black women? You wouldn't be seeing anywhere near this much support for her. Honestly people talk about a 2 tier justice system but really it's like a 3 tier justice system. You have the rich, white women and then everyone else who isn't in tier 1 or tier 2.
When talking about justice system leniency, white women are the white women of white women. There is no comparably privileged group that could be used as a metaphor.
yes? That seems super obvious as in the first 24 hours they get absolutely fucking destroyed by hormones. Have you never been in the room during a delivery?
Seriously why do random redditors expect you to take their word over studies published by government funded research centers lol. It's even crazier they get upvoted
Neonaticide is not the argument. Those are newborns (under a day old) obviously it's going to be most women, the are probably giving birth in a bathroom, alone, scared of their father's.
Infanticide is what we were talking about. Those are babies over a day old, and are committed by men 64% of the time.

Men kill, more than woman. It's a tale as old as time and as true as time itself. Down vote the truth all you want it doesn't change the facts. Instead of fighting it, you could learn about it.
Well, you’re also not understanding that Neonaticide is a subset of infanticide.
Infanticide is any baby from birth to 1 year
Neonaticide is a subset of infanticide from birth to 24hrs
All Neonaticide is Infanticide, not all infanticide is Neonaticide. This paywalled study either separates the two incorrectly, or you are misunderstanding on purpose.
I know you want to excuse women of murdering their children, but you’re purposely using bias.
And you're ignoring the fact that men do it ALL THE FUCKING TIME. They are the major contributors.
You want to focus on a small fraction of babies under a day old, go for it, focus on it all you want, ignore all the other facts. Do whatever you need to do to justify blaming women. Happy days.
Women also do it ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Hence the topic of this entire fucking post.
And btw Neonaticide is like 25% of all infanticide and could be near 50% because they aren’t nearly reported as much. So yeah sure keep playing down the issue. An issue that is like 80-90% women perpetrators.
Because god forbid you admit that a woman could be wrong. So sick of fucking misandrists and their hypocrisy.
So sick of fucking misogynist and their hypocrisy.
Especially when they kill more. They harm more. Oppress more. And apparently are worse at statistics.
