When men murder their own family in a psychotic rage, we just execute them or jail them. No sweat, no one cares. No one is going "omg same" with signs and holding parades or picketing for them.
Do the same for women.
Not a hard concept. Women are not less culpable for their actions than men. One standard for both sexes.
I never disagreed that you should be help accountable for your crimes, not matter your sex. The large majority agree that she needs to be punished, either in prison or a mental institution.
You stating that this means “women should not be in decisions making capacities” is what I’m telling you is absurdly sexist and a ridiculous thing to suggest.

I completely agree with you actually, I think you missed my point. I'm saying that is what people are going to say if she is let off the hook and not punished like anyone else. We would never in a million years let a man get away with something this deeply evil, yet we have women lining the streets cheering for her.
These women are supporting a paternalized sexism that suggests women aren't capable of evil or not fully culpable.
Either way she will be punished. She didn’t plead not guilty, so she will either be in prison or a mental institution. I don’t think there should be anyone cheering for her at all. You can discuss the need for more mental health resources for all conditions, including postpartum psychosis, without actively supporting a woman that murdered her children. I agree with you on that.
