You should say men and Women. Just today in VA a mother was arrested for taking nude pictures of her 13 year old daughter - to show them to the child's step-father. He is in jail for having raped the girl.
So women take their share of blame in evil doing I am sad to say. I just have less sympathy for a woman who abuses or allows abuse of her child/children - I guess because I am a mom and I just can't understand how a person can do that.
You are correct. What's blowing my mind in this round of events is the amount of men who appear to be siding with the adulterous husband. I told my husband if I were the wife of one of those men the FIRST thing I would do is contact a lawyer and say "I DO NOT WANT TO DIE." The SECOND thing is divorce him and walk away with all that is legal. My gosh. And I hold the women in contempt, too. The adulterous woman who's shacking up with MS...? When I was younger the word for them was SLUT.
