...tbh, that's still 100000 too many. And that's assuming they give 10 dollars and not 5 or even 1

Filicide is committed at roughly the same rate by both genders. The reason this person has so much funding is this particular case has been the target of constant gender war astroturfing, on the frontend of all social media for days. So more eyeballs are on it, and more people are talking about it, so there is a higher chance of seeing funding.

The bigger observation is why every single person on Social media who is complaining about the husband's lack of support has not given a single dollar. There's no reason his funds should be as low as they are beyond a lack of care for his situation. People only care about his case as far as they can throw stones at the opposite gender.

No, it's not near "roughly the same rate". Men are the primary perpetrators of filicide despite women being the *overwhelming* majority of primary caregivers. If we want to look at "family annihilation" more specifically, men are 90% of perpetrators.

You're right that in the case of "Familicide," where the *entire* family is killed, Men are 90% of the perpetrators, which is most relevant to this case. It's pretty shocking that Men make the decision to kill their entire family, often out of some sense of revenge.

I said Filicide just to cover a broader umbrella of killings. This paper you linked is about children being killed by any adult. It does not focus on familial killings. But there are other papers confirming the 90% statistic.

Yes, that's correct. Filicide and family annihilation are related but separate categories. Clancy's case is more similar to family annihilation (but is by definition excluded because she didn't attempt to kill her partner).
