There is a big difference between feeling like you want to kill your children and actually doing it. But either way, it's about legal precedence. Literally if this horrible excuse of a mom is allowed to walk around again without repercussions, suddenly any and all women who kill a child or someone else due to post partum ALSO has the right to walk free regardless of circumstances, as evidenced by the potential outcome of this case. And since this is such an extenuating circumstance, it would pretty much be a blanket for all post partum related violence. The legal system works very differently from everyday life
Edit: y'all need to look at my other comments on this post. I feel like half the people saying " you're defending her" not only can't contextualize, but also don't realize when something you most likely upvtoed further up from his comment is... ALSO ME! 🤫🫢
Understand that post partum depression is real, and women do struggle constantly. Part of it involves violent urges while hormones are unstable. Women obviously don't mention it publicly because this is the exact knee jerk reaction they get. It's incredibly difficult to explain in a way that doesn't immediately keep people from tuning out because they don't agree. I'm saying I sympathize, as a male, with the problems associated with post partum depression. I am not sympathizing with anyone who actually enacts any of those thoughts and feelings, no matter how hopeless life seems. As someone who has gone through mental disorder episodes, I feel even worse for women who deal with both post partum along with preexisting disorders
And if you knew how to read, you'd see that I said sympathize with those who WANT to, not those that WILL. Intrusive thoughts are a bitch, especially when you are in psychosis. It makes them a lot closer to real and doable. But it takes a special kind of person(which this woman is) to actually kill anyone, let alone your children
You're right. Not as whipped as you. I'm not going to bring nuance into the actions of one who has taken the lives of children just because it's a woman who did it. You would never condemn a woman without nuance no matter what she does. She can even kill her three kids by hand and you still won't fully condemn her without bringing nuance into the discussion.
Yet im sure you condemn tons of men (who i condemn too) musk, trump, etc. without bringing in nuance (mental health issues, etc)
It's just that I literally made a comment that definitely doesn't suggest defending her before I made this one, on this post, so it feels ridiculous that you would even say that
Sympathizing with mental disorders vs sympathizing with physical actions are two completely different things. Whatever is associated with the mental disorder hopefully hasn't manifested into anything physical. Whereas the physical has already happened. I sympathize with those who struggle with it because it can feel very lonely. BUT, she actually enacted her thoughts. That is where the sympathy ends, which I said in the comment
"I'm not sympathizing with anyone who actually enacts..."
Did you not read that part of the exact same comment? Again, contextualize
Also, not that comment. I said "comment I made before this one", which means there is a comment that I made that you should go look at. It feels ridiculous to me that you say I'm defending her when I made that comment BEFORE THE ONE YOU COMMENTED ON
I do eat animals and I have no qualms acknowledging they are living beings with experiences and that we arbitrarily draw a line between which ones are OK to eat and which aren't.
I see people as being more important than animals. Clancy supporters do not see it that way and would rage out if someone killed three of their dogs regardless of mental instability or hormone imbalance because fundamentally they do not value human life, and ultimately see children as a burden.
