The murder of infants is treated less seriously because the majority of perpetrators are mothers

Yes, the only constitutional law differentiated by biological sex in Sweden... three classes: murder, manslaughter and infanticide.

§1 Anyone who takes the life of another person shall be sentenced for murder to a fixed term of imprisonment of not less than ten and not more than eighteen years, or to life imprisonment.

2 § If an offence referred to in §1 is, in view of the circumstances that led to the act or otherwise, to be regarded as less serious, the sentence for manslaughter shall be imprisonment for a term of not less than six and not more than ten years.

3 § If a woman kills her child at birth or at a time when, due to childbirth, she is in a state of emotional distress or in severe distress, she shall be sentenced for infanticide to imprisonment for a maximum of six years.

So they made up new terms for crimes commited by women, so they could remove it from normal stats to paint men as worse. Patriarchy 100%

Exactly this. They want to whine and complain when you simply bring up a secondary statistic when talking about a men dominated crime. But, flip the script and bring this up and it's crickets.

If I'm not mistaken, the Russian Empire was also lenient toward women who murdered their newborn child/infant.

Just to say this obscene leniency toward women is far from new.

Sickens me off to NO END as victim of MGM.

People who were supposed to be caretakers mutilated me and violated my trust in them forever changing me. That can’t be excused or forgotten. Ever

This is why I'm so pissed off by abortion, it's always fine because it's the woman's choice, the woman is the primary thing that matters. Have you, oh, Idk, considered the father?

(Glad to be banned from subreddits that don't support this subreddit btw, first comment here.)

Canada has an infanticide law as well that AFAIK: carries a MAX penalty of 5 years in jail AND it is only applied to mothers.

Here is Chatgpt answer about this law Yes — partly. Canada’s infanticide law is widely criticized as being rooted in old, shaky, gendered medical assumptions, especially the idea that childbirth or lactation itself can disturb a mother’s mind in a legally meaningful way.

Under Criminal Code s. 233, infanticide applies where a “female person” causes the death of her “newly-born child” while she has not fully recovered from childbirth, or because of lactation, and “her mind is then disturbed.”

The “suspect science” criticism is strongest around the lactation/childbirth wording. The law came from an older British-style legal model that assumed childbirth and breastfeeding could biologically unbalance women’s minds. Modern critics argue that this is not a precise medical concept and that “disturbed mind” is not a real diagnostic standard. Some Canadian commentary describes the statutory language as “extremely woolly” and not established medical terminology.

But there is a twist: Canadian courts now treat the phrase less as a hard medical claim and more as a broad legal mitigation category. In R. v. Borowiec, the Supreme Court of Canada held that the disturbance does not have to be a defined mental illness, psychological disorder, or major impairment of reasoning. That makes the law easier to apply, but it also arguably confirms the criticism: the law is not really anchored in modern psychiatric science.

It is just postnatal abortion. Why is it on one minute and the next minute it is wrong? (Food for thought)

This has been a thing for thousands of years, I think it’s like 60 M a year now.

Men are actually the safer model, any way you cut it. Now among the outliers, yes men can cause some damage, but nothing like 60M a year and told they are ‘empowered’.

It is odd that Lenin and Stalin still fell behind the mark, only 100 M between the two of them and it took much more than two years, so . . . despite their commitment and efforts to Molech, the Demi-urge, whatever, they still couldn’t beat women.

Some say Mao, similar to Stalin and Lenin did do a ‘better’ job, but likely only Henry Kissinger and folks at the Pentagram know those real numbers

Belfast, woman convicted of stabbing her two young children..one died the other survived..so last year the conviction was quashed and now theres a blanket media ban on reporting the story and we ll probably never know if she got off.

When you make the unnatural and cruel your identity, you prevent people from discussing your behavior. They take any criticism of their choice, as an attack on their very existence. Silencing all communication.

What does a nation do, when half of entire generations are razed against the Father's unalienable liberty interest in his parent-child relationship?

The father has as much right to the child as the mother from the moment of consent. Equal Protections of the law prevent biological differences from being considered. Making gestation a moot consideration.

Why should men, permit the systemic aggression against Father's and Children's natural rights, civil rights and human rights?

We used to have Crimes Against Humanity tribunals for those who cause mass harm to entire populations.

Mothers killing their newborns isn’t unheard off in the animal kingdom

It's strange, testosterone is the excuse men use to rape, murder and abuse women, children, babies, elders and other men. But a woman having hormones due to building a whole new body inside of her isn't an excuse.

It's not that strange that the one shows remorse, regret and heartbreak at their actions are the ones who are treated better, its hard to want to go easy on a man who killed a baby by raping it to death.
