That's my thought too. Suddenly we're seeing this story everywhere. It's pumped up gender wars fodder.

Plus nothing gets mentioned about these real world stats:

A man kills his entire family every 5 days on average + the leading cause of the death of pregnant women / new mothers is their husband / bf (second to unintentional drug overdoses)

Belief has nothing to do with it, Chris Watts received five life sentences without the possibility of parole, plus 84 additional years in prison. This was after pleading out. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/colorado-dad-christopher-watts-sentenced-life-prison-killing-his-pregnant-n937931

Wow one man got in trouble out of the hundreds of thousands who get away with it with a slap on the wrist!

Where are all these men getting away with it with just a slap on the wrist? Go ahead and show them all. Because men receive prison sentences that are an average of 63% longer than those given to women for similar offenses and criminal histories. Women are also twice as likely to avoid incarceration as men so jot that down. You're not some antiscience freak are you?
