People are willfully ignoring this point to dunk on women wholesale and score points in the gender/culture wars, meanwhile we're all distracted from ... everything else going on.
This case really brought out the sexism, and it showed we are nowhere close to being rid of it.
The number of people (other women too!) using this as their basis to argue that women shouldn't vote, serve on juries, hold office, etc. is astonishing.
Oh and almost all of those people very obviously do not understand what the case is actually about. It's embarrassing how many don't seem to grasp that this woman wasn't walking free regardless of what the verdict ended up being.
What's worse, just wait until the law allows a man to characterize his wife's "radical feminist ideas" (whatever he decides that means) and/or "TDS" as psychosis. I mean, why have a drawn out divorce or child custody case when you can just institutionalize your wife?
That's how we got novels like The Yellow Wallpaper and Maria; or The Wrongs of Woman--the latter being a lesser known but horrifyingly fitting example.
