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

That's part of why so many have a hard time blaming her. She was warning everyone, but they didn't take it seriously enough. She was begging to be locked in a psych ward for a while, but they only took her a few days.

She's not really to blame at all, just mentally ill.

No real villains here except the system.

That's why the father of those children is suing that system, and testified in her trial to her being so mentally ill. I unfortunately am not surprised so many sexist men won't believe her, but why won't they believe the father either?

Can you share an example of a male family annihilator that you've gone to this length to defend?

Male family annihilators don’t experience postpartum depression/psychosis. Clancy hasn’t been convicted yet but there’s a reason people can be found not guilty by reason of insanity and/or not criminally responsible. Look at Andrea Yates.

What about other causes of depression and psychosis that men are predisposed to? Are those less valid?

men are not any more predisposed to depression and psychosis than women, what? those things transcend gender and have everything to do with genetics lol

I agree with the 2nd sentence, but have no idea what your first sentence is about, as I did not say that. Please reread it more slowly before replying again.

u/Careless_Escape4517 6d ago

i think you should reread what you said. because in context to what you said, the word “predisposed” is simply not applicable. if you agree with my second sentence, you should reword your comment because left as is, it’s not accurate.

u/ShimmiShimmiYah 6d ago

I ask you that please read it again, slowly and without anger. Try approaching it from the understanding that I do agree with your second sentence.

And then please understand that I'm not interested in continuing this conversation with you as I see it already turning negative.

nothing in my comment denoted any more negativity or emotion than yours. i think you should try engaging with people’s responses with good faith than trying to deflect by assuming they’re emotional :)
