"I'd venture a guess about your two examples...the mother was planning to leave the man. Am I right?"

"Jilted? Don't put words into my mouth. I didn't say jilted. In fact it never entered my mind."

Your two consecutive posts are totally incongruent. First you make the guess that the mother was planning to leave the man, then you make the claim that the man being jilted never entered your mind as a reason for his murders. Huh? Are you now saying that a wife planning to leave her husband isn't "jilting" him? This is getting ridiculous.

But back to the original point. Wife kills children and commits suicide. While the story is still breaking I read posts about her "post-partum depression" being a mitigating factor, and the fact that somebody said they heard her screaming. Automatic assumption by the feminists = "She must be whacko".

Now, man kills children and commits suicide. Automatic conclusion = "I would venture a guess his wife was planning on leaving him...". I'd like to know why you wouldn't "venture a guess" that he was clinically depressed and on meds as a first thought? Why the unequal balance of empathy or unequal ability to give the same benefit of the doubt to both sexes? Just curious.

Are they now. You didn't provide court transcripts, so for the third time, I'm making a guess. Do you know that the definition for "jilt" is to cast off or desert a lover or sweetheart. I was talking more about running for your life. You are ridiculous.

She didn't commit suicide. Reread the original article. In fact another poster added some new info to this story. Dude I'm sorry you got burned, but don't ever lump all of us into a feminist category...

Pssst. Women bleed and men don't. We have different hormones.
