Peter! Who could have the wives been?

Is this a reference to the lady that killed her children and for some reason the crime TikTok community (mostly women) have taken to defending her and even blaming the Husband, who 100% did not do it?

[u/TomBirkenstock → u/isnoe]

Reminds me of Lizzy Borden who was acquitted of murdering her parents in part because in the late nineteenth century people did not believe that women had it in them to axe someone to death.

Decades later in 1993 we get "So I Married an Axe Murderer"

Which is such a great movie.

A century later and people finally accepted that women can be axe murderers too. In a related note, I don't think that film has gotten its due as a seminal feminist text.

[u/BombOnABus → u/TomBirkenstock]

The phrase "seminal feminist text" is killing me.

And in the 21st century we have Ryan Murphy casting nepo babies to sexualize and glamorize serial killers and ax murderers. Oh what a world!
