His wife Catherine Herring, who has filed for divorce, told the court the jail sentence was not long enough. She said their 1-year-old daughter, their third child, was born about 10 weeks premature, has developmental delays and attends therapy eight times a week.

“I do not believe that 180 days is justice for attempting to kill your child seven separate times,” Catherine Herring said.

    naw, my point is they generally have it pretty shitty everywhere. i used the term agency for reason.

    sure here or there will have a specific better feature, like healthcare, but then thats offset by the incredible violence domestic or otherwise in that same region

      I’m confused why this is an unpopular sentiment. Surely we agree patriarchy is an unjust and almost universal force in our world? Some places are better and worse for womens rights… But doesnt every major religion basically dictate that women are not and cannot be equal?

        yeah i dont get it either.

        whole countries convince women that they are supposed to be second class citizens. rape is their fault. education is haphazard at best. killed at birth for being female.

        the world over, women generally have it worse off than males. this is not a controversy, but a statement of fact.

          Yet this looks like the path a large portion of the states are heading towards. There are tons of cases of rape and victim blaming, and that’s only the ones that get news articles or documentaries judging by the huge rape kit backlog that nobody with any power or authority cares about

        Because “it’s worse elsewhere” is an empty statement that stops any discussion on any problem. Why not look at where things are better instead?
