I'd like to laugh and point at the misogynist, but nobody in this thread, including me, has made a misogynistic statement. What I said is no more misogynistic than the statement Dana made was misandristic.
Postpartum depression may be real, but blaming depression on murdering your kids is as ridiculous as a man saying he killed his kids because he was horny and his hormones were off or a woman using the excuse that PMS made her murder her husband.
Sundae's stats don't prove anything. Stats vary widely from one country to another.
TW's quote from the economists seems to support what I've said. The presence of a step-father increases the odds of an "unnatural death", but this could be suicide, drunk driving, doing drugs with other kids, etc. It does nothing to suggest that the step father is killing the kids.
The second sentence of his quote says that murder of children is often by the mother which leans towards supporting what I've said about seeing more stories in the news about women murdering their own kids than men doing so. Step-fathers don't count.
