Kathleen Parker Comments On The Yates Case

I know we're not supposed to keep posting articles on Andrea Yates, but this one was far too interesting to pass up. In her latest article Kathleen Parker defends not giving the death penalty to Andrea Yates on the grounds that she was insane (I'm sure we can find a fair few men who got the death penalty for that) she says the tired old line that women do most of the childcare as a seemingly subjective defence, overlooking a father's socializing influence (see here for more info) and his economic contributions to name a few of several factors. However, things get interesting when it's divided down gender lines, I won't spoil it here, but I think most men's activists can spot what's happening.
