| MrBubbles said: its interesting that people want to take into account the mental health and stability of the woman, but fail to consider the extreme mental anguish that the man would be suffering at this time. so she is not guilty because of her problems, but in all likelihood he wasnt able to control himself either and by the same standard should be also not guilty of the crime. |
I agree.
That just shows the double standard sexist PoV most people have. I have no doubt that if man killed his children and the wife killed him in retaliation, she'd get far more sympathy. Also, I hate how some people think the wife shouldn't be held responsible because she might have "not been there" or "blacked out", but don't think the man should receive the same treatment even though he most likely blacked out or just briefly lost himself mentally in reaction to witnessing a very traumatic event.
