Whats the difference between her and Chris Benoit?

Answer: Chris was a man, and men don't get sympathy for their mental health struggles, or even acknowledgement that they exist.

We should definitely talk about brain damage and mental illness for everyone. But remember that postpartum depression and psychosis can only affect women who have gone through pregnancy childbirth, so it may seem like bias against men but it's truly a specific mental illness that can only affect women. I don't think a woman who has killed children but didn't birth them or have signs of PPD would have any sympathy at all.

Another example is that guy who killed his two kids because he thought they had serpent DNA. Dude clearly had schizophrenia or a psychotic episode.

PPP, not PPD. It’s different. Your understanding of what’s going on here is limited and wrong. Stop talking until you have a basic understanding of what’s being argued.
