    People like this don’t get the title of “mom”. The definition of mother is protective instinct.

    This is why you don’t participate in monogamy. Never trust someone that tries to legally make theirs, that’s not love.

    Sometimes I wonder if legal marriage was made by people with extreme insecurity so that they could legally enslave the person they have sex with.

    Legal manipulation and forms of control that help the owners of this world maintain leadership of human direction.

    Sex is sex.

    Love is love.

    Family is family.

    They are not supposed to be bundled in the same legal package. Each is different.

      So your takeaway from a woman murdering her children is that monogamy is the problem? Hol’up

      If one person becomes possessive in a relationship, then by your standard:

      Every employment is slavery because some bosses are abusive.

      Every democracy is a tyranny because some politicians are corrupt.

      Any parenting whatsoever is ownership because some parents are controlling.

      Every friendship is coercion because some friends are manipulative.

      Human designed systems can be abused. That does not mean the systems only exist to abuse people.

      Likewise, the concept of marriage may be a legal framework for shared property, inheritance, medical stuff, etc, but it exists because people frequently fall in love with each other and lust for options to make their love somewhat official. And maybe humans discovered that stable cooperative units somehow reduce chaos, or so.

      Also, why calling marriage ‘legal enslavement’ while simultaneously saying ‘family is family’? So many contradictions. That is like seeing famine and concluding agriculture was the mistake.

      You’re not critiquing monogamy here, but stapling unrelated ideological grievances onto a murder case. It is misery we should be outraged by, not merely the behavior of the miserable.

        Wage employment actually is a form of slavery according to former slave Frederick Douglass:

        “Experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other.”
