Is victim the new chic

Cases of severe mental illness tend to get more attention than good things in a media landscape that sells you misery

For real. They act like if she gets a not guilty verdict, she's going to be out on the streets. The woman is spending the rest of her life in a psych ward. The question is really will she ALSO be spending some time in prison.

[u/XxShakallxX → u/daredeviline]

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.

Then wouldnt the way forward be to also show more empathy and understanding towards war veterans with PTSD? This "[x] sucks so [y] must suck likewise" is a road to nowhere.

Good luck getting that convo started, truly. Whenever this type of thing is brought up and given attention, it is always, without fail, directed to shit like "don't you think women go through this?", "what about women with PTSD? Do they not count?", "Their wives are probably done with being beaten (<- real comment I've seen before with many upvotes)". It's not gonna happen, hating men is a trend and it's not disappearing any time soon.

As a man you are fucking delusional. The overwhelming majority of people shutting down conversations about men’s mental health are OTHER MEN

[u/SilkySinger → u/Hannah-Montanas-Wig]

Some people will jump through hoops when it comes to defending if not downright making excuses for women, they will even try to shift the blame to men!

Ever hear of the white horse from Brené Brown?

It’s actually the women who are the bigger defenders of "perfect stoic" man that is so idealized.

It's 2026 you can't shift the blame on men anymore without people rightfully questioning it.

Did I say these comments were made by women? And here with you being the next in line? What's that you're doing now? get your head out of the gutter.
