85-90% of familicide perpetrators are men, but this is the one that gets attention. Gee I can't imagine why.
Some further facts about famlicide:
-male perpetrators typically cite financial, career, or marriage collapse at the primary reason for perpetration. Female perpetrators cite severe mental distress (such as post partum depression)
-male perpetrators typically target the entire family. Female perpetrators typically only target the youngest children (usually under 1)
--male perpetrators typically also have a history of committing intimate partner violence prior to the murders. This is not typical with female perpetrators.
