The general public is like 20 or maybe 50 times harder on women who kill their children than on men.

We heard a lot more about Susan Smith and we did about that man in California who tried to kill his three daughters one of whom survived. And then there was a man who some months ago killed both of his teenage daughters. Just to get back at
His ex. And there are others.

I'm certainly not taking up for anybody who kills their own or anyone else's children. But I'm tired of the way as usual may get off so much easier with this.
