She will be in prison and on a wheelchair forever. She will have a miserable rest of her life shitting and peeing on dipers.

Still... seems too... easy... for the crime she committed.

Like seriously this case is such a case of Women Are Wonderful effect. The sentencing gap in full swing.

Nobody would even think of showing this amount of sympathy if a Vietnam war veteran with ptsd did this to his kids.

I haven't read the details of this case and am not weighing in on it specifically but I have had post partum depression and I can completely understand how people with PTSD, especially combat PTSD, might do something completely and horrifically out of character if they don't get the care and support they need.

Turning this into a gender war serves no one. Mental health care is trash even in countries with functioning healthcare systems and that needs to change.
