These people live and die for ratings, and I'm sure that Couric, regardless of what may be feminist principles, is no different. Therefore, it might well be useful to sent her an email directly, if that's possible, with a positive comment on this story. At least it was reasonably objective. Does anyone have such an address?
Further, if in fact, "Bias" was a motivator for a change of heart, we ought ot let them know that their change was recognized and applauded. That will help ensure that it is a more permanent condition.

Whenever I hear women speaking about the Yates case say "I don't condone it but men can't possibly understand what feelings go through a woman's mind and cause her to do something like that" I wonder what their response would be if that was the way men spoke of rape..."I don't condone it but women can't understand these types of feelings men have. I feel sorry for him."

Men can't understand women's motivations? Fine, then - why not just institute separate governments for men and women? The women's government could be completely comprised of and implemented by women (who thus can accurately comprehend and assess the motivations and behaviors of their sisters), and ultimately do a better job of regulating female behavior. For if the generic government - dominated by men - simply can't identify well enough with the female plight to pass accurate judgment on female moral transgressions, then maybe the generic government should be forbidden from judging women at all! Right?

Well, not exactly, but yeah, I've been in his shoes, and in this day and age most fathers have. I've taken charge of the kids, at the earliest ages too, frequently enough and for long enough durations in our household that, yes, in fact, I DO understand what could make a parent, mother or father, want to do harm to their children. I can remember two occasions when I just walked out into the back yard while my 3 month old son screamed his lungs out, just to get a few seconds of peace. This within a few seconds after placing him down in his crib with just a little more authority than I should have. So, DON'T tell me that men simply don't understand.
And ya know what? I STILL think Yates deserves the death penalty. There is NO excuse for what she did. If she had just left the house, the kids would certainly be no worse of than they are now and they damn well likely would be much better off, even if they were simply left unattended.
Sorry for yelling, but I'm just getting tired of the BS that she should be "excused" because of her "illness."

Whenever I hear women give the "I don't condone it but no man can understand the types of feelings that can drive someone to do that" line I wonder how they would respond if men responded the same way about rape..."I don't condone it but you women can't understand the types of feelings that made him do it. I really feal sorry for him."

You don't understand:
Women know all and understand everything.
Men cannot understand women, but women can understand men. It's simple feminist logic.
