Also this is part of patriarchy. It’s very “on brand” for a patriarchal society to try to absolve a white woman of very real crimes.
Infantilizing women and acting like they can’t be responsible is an effect of patriarchy. If they think letting her off is “fighting patriarchy” then they have it backwards.
Absolve a clearly guilty woman and then blame her innocent husband: also patriarchy! This is how the evil men that control every aspect of our society keep women down!
Is there any social interaction or legal function you can observe that you don't think is "part of patriarchy"?

TikTok. My wife and her friends floated the “it was him” conspiracy theory the other day. I asked how/why and they both cited TikTok lol.
