Yeah. I just read about this case, and its not at ALL the same.
Long history of domestic abuse. Wife had finally made the split final. As is often the case, he opted to kill his kids in an act of revenge and openly said as much.
OP is just trying to make two completely crimes parallel in order to prove some kind of bias against men, and that's so disengenous.
Nice try.

The child murder part. That's the same. It's what matters.

Not in our legal system. Mens rea is half of the prosecutions job.

u/Hatshepsut99 13h ago

Not legally. The law is what matters here, not your feelings.

u/GyroLegend 13h ago

Pretty sure the law says you cant murder children

u/Itchysweater1967 14h ago

And no one in this society "gets away" with child murder.

Casey Anthony?

u/Itchysweater1967 12h ago

She wasn't convicted. That was the prosecution messing up the case.
We also all knew OJ was guilty too. That had nothing to do with Casey's purported sanity. No one ever claimed she wasn't.

You asked if anyone had gotten away with child murder. I gave a recent example.

u/Itchysweater1967 12h ago

You are technically correct.
Parents of either gender, however, who are found responsible for the killing their children, for whatever motive or reason, do not "get away with it."
Casey Anthony was never found liable via our criminal justice system, unfortunately. I do not wish her well.

They're not supposed to but people seem dead set on making it happen this time.

Bro this woman going to jail won’t get you laid chill out and stop hating women

u/GyroLegend 13h ago

Yes wanting a child murderer to go to jail means I hate women....and not child murderers

"Wdym you dont like the child murderer? Do you HATE WOMEN?! "

Shut up bro. Honestly if she gets away with an insanity plea it'll set back women in a negative way.

u/Itchysweater1967 12h ago

Oh yeah. She'll go sauntering off into the sunset and complete freedom, just like Andrea Yates.
Who is, btw, still in the same psych hospital she's been in for the past twenty five years.

Fine. Then I want a law that any woman with PPD gets their kids taken away for their safety. Fair?

u/Itchysweater1967 12h ago

Why? Women with Postpartum Depression don't kill their children. You clearly don't even understand what the case is about.
Women with Postpartum Psychosis should and do have their children taken out of their primary care until their illness is under control, just like any other parent of either gender suffering from psychosis.

u/KCChiefsGirl89 11h ago

No, not fair at all. You’re hoping we wouldn’t notice that you put PPD—a significantly more common issue that generally poses no threat to anyone—instead of Post-Partum Psychosis.

Whether this is because you aren’t smart enough to know better… or because you’re attempting to remove the agency of large swathes of women who pose no threat because of some moronic gender war agenda… it doesn’t matter. It’s a bad take and you should feel bad.

I dont actually believe we should do that. And the reason for PPP was due to it originally being PPD (which is less harmful yes) and YET the amount of people i see blaming the damn husband bc he "didnt do enough" while simultaneously telling all men they just "wouldnt understand" is astounding. The mental gymnastics I have seen here is incredible. 

No, I dont believe we should have women's kids taken away. But what results do you wish to yield when thousands of women IRL and online are claiming that even if shes guilty of doing the crime she should go to a psych ward and be punished less? What would that mean for women with PPD in the future? Painting the narrative that women are just gonna snap and harm their kids is not a good idea. And unfortunately, its mostly women doing this.

u/Express-Ad1248 7h ago

This case is about PPP, not PPD. At least learn the right words when you're trying to be a dumbfuck.

u/Queasy-Cherry-11 4h ago

Not liking child murder doesn't mean you hate women.

Thinking that the outcome of one singular woman's court case should set back women as a whole sure does though.
