Did I miss the memo saying "ATTENTION ALL FEMALES! Only get involved with stinkers!"? I mean, I thought everyone wants to be with someone that is 'good' for them. Of course we all know to pick better men! We try, really do try.
That is just it...so many think we are making the right choice. In this case, maybe she thought he WAS an OK guy. Maybe he was a smooth talker or charming or flattering or kind to her child.
I have yet to met a woman who says "Oh! My new beau, he is wonderful! And rotten to the core; he lies to me, runs around behind my back and even kicks my dog when I'm not looking. I am SO lucky!"
As far as I know, being a bad judge of character isn't gender specific. In any case, bad judgement on the part of the victim never makes murder OK.
What about this question, 'What is wrong with men in society today?' I mean, for a MAN to kill his unborn child and its mother... what has happened to MEN!?!?!? </sarc>
