This was the right verdict. While millions wanted the Texas jury to flip the switch, it is fitting that Andrea Yates spend the next forty years in a small, cold, damp cell, knowing that society has pronounced her guilty as charged.

Do you really think that living in a prison, is going to bother this woman? Do you really think she has a single regret?

It did not bother her to kill those kids. It will not bother her to be faced with their deaths for 40 years. They are alreadly long gone out of her mind.

Killing her kids bothers her about as much as going out to dinner bothers you. She won't think about it or worry about it ever again.

Why do you think the conscience of this killer is anything like yours? It isn't. She will have an easy life in prison. She will have it easy with no responsibilities. She will have a TV, a bed, three good meals, and a butch to be the husband she always wanted.

Get real! Forty years of punishment? Only someone who has never been around such a murderer or seen inside todays prisons could believe it.

Feminists are unwilling to accept the truth: that while most men/fathers and most women/mothers are decent people who love their kids and would never hurt them, there is a very small percentage of women/mothers and men/fathers who are capable of acting in the definitively filicidal manner that Andrea Yates and Nikolay Soltys did. Andrea Yates is not representative of most women/mothers, and Nikolay Soltys is not representative of most men/fathers.
>br> And MOST feminist do not say most fathers or most mothers are bad. MOST feminists are not the way this author represents them. Some are. He wants to bash feminists as collectivist "haters" and collectivisly "wrong-headed" yet he he himself is collectivist in his diatribe against feminists. There are lots of differnt types of feminists. NOW is not representative of most feminists in the world, nor even perhaps in the USA. Even if they were, I rather doubt NOW holds all the opinions this author claims they do. NOW is certainly up for criticism, but the collectively lump feminist with NOW and even with made-up precepts of NOW is stupid, especially when decrying collectivism itself.
