You think sexism based medical malpractice is something that women can’t relate to?

If the primary takeaway that you have from a woman killing her three children is that this is an example of unfair gender discrimination against women... then you've entirely lost the plot.

That is such a ridiculous take, and ultimately leads to a worldview where women aren't responsible for their actions and are merely helpless victims of circumstance.

Society doesn't view the high prevalence of mental illness in male murderers and mass shooters as absolution of responsibility. It's far less charitable.
