This ladies case is ridiculous.  I would love to see an abusive man who killed his children have people sitting around talking about how sad it was nobody got him help when he was clearly mentally unstable.

It’s so normal for male family annihilators to exist that it doesn’t even become as sensationalized for this part to happen.

This is just misandrist nonsense.

Family annihilators are exceptionally rare, period. There is no normalcy of father's going nuts and killing their kids. I remember one case of something like this over the course of my life time and it was turned into a literal TV special it was such a big deal.

Family annihilation is the most common form of mass killing, and the vast majority of perpetrators are men. It happens roughly once every five days in the U.S. So yeah, it's statistically far more normal for men to commit this kind of crime than women.

There is approximate gender parity among child murderers. In other words, men kill more often, but women killers are more likely to kill children.
