'NYC nanny not herself before children's killings'

Article here. Excerpt:

'NEW YORK (AP) -- Friends and relatives of Yoselyn Ortega, the New York City nanny accused of stabbing two young children to death, said she appeared to be struggling emotionally and financially recently. Few, though, could offer any explanation for what might have caused her to attack the children.
...
"Apparently over the last month she was not herself," said police department spokesman Paul Browne.'

"She snapped," "She was not herself," etc.  Well yes, obviously.  She was obviously quite "disturbed," enough to murder two children and attempt to kill herself.  Makes no difference though.  But wait, it may just indeed make a difference because she's a... she.

Look at how the media has been handling this story.  No use of words that would doubtlessly be used if the murderer had been male, such as "monster", or indeed "murderer".  I have yet to see anyone call her what she is: a child-murderer.  And yet, suppose this hideous crime will change anyone's prejudices around their belief that a woman can be capable of such an act? Doubt it.  It will disappear into the Nymphotropic Memory Hole like the other crimes certain women commit against children and people will still continue to believe women are categorically more trustworthy as child-minders than are men, simply because they have uteruses and men don't.
