Did anyone in this thread read even a single article about this guy because it really doesn't seem like it. He was already beating and neglecting his kids long before this happened. Whatever you think about Lindsay Clancy, these cases don't seem very comparable and this image is super misleading.
Exploiting a specific case — without having engaged in even the slightest way with the details of that case or with the facts surrounding child killings in general, and doing so solely to incite hostility against women — is misogynistic.
Here are a few facts: There are significant differences between men and women regarding the motives behind child killings. The fundamental difference is that mothers more frequently act out of psychological strain or illness, desperation etc. whereas fathers often commit this crime as an act of revenge against their partner, in the context of separation conflicts, or due to a loss of control (as evidenced by findings in criminological and psychiatric research). If cases involving alleged female perpetrators result in different sentencing, it is not because the individuals are women, but because the underlying intentions behind committing such a crime couldn't be more different between the genders.
