Blaming the Father at All Costs

Anniee sent in this essay from the American Reporter, which pins the blame for the Andrea Yates killings on her husband: "Yes, I think Rusty Yates, who looks as squeaky clean as the bathtub his children drowned in, ought to be locked up instead of his wife for callously ignoring his wife's needs (if not worse) and for criminal neglect of his children." I've been extremely selective about posting more stories about the Yates killings, but this one was just too inflammatory to pass by. It simply reeks with the double standards we have about men and women regarding responsibility.Source: The American Reporter
