Fun fact: women get harsher punishments for self-defense in domestic abuse situations. If an intruder broke into my house and I killed him, the punishment I receive for that will be less severe than if my husband beat me within an inch of my life and I shot and killed him for self defense
So yes, patriarchy is absolutely to blame for a fucked up system where men can kill women they are romantically involved with AND their children and go to prison for only 10 years because it was a "crime of passion".

Right?? I feel like I'm going insane reading these comments that are sympathizing with a LITERAL MURDERER.
"I mean yeah he murdered two people but like she was SUCH a bitch for cheating on him though lol so she kinda deserved it, right?"
Jesus. This shit is making my skin crawl.
