It’s sad but world people have as much sympathy for a man on death row? Would they even care to read how bad his childhood was? Most people wouldn’t care. Let’s see if somebody takes up for a condemned man and how much social media attention it gains.
That said, I’m not strictly in favour of the death penalty. No matter what the penalty is, people will commit crimes. But we have to do something. I’m not sure what, though.

This isn’t about men. Stop trying to make it about men.

If you’re fine with the double standard, just admit it and own it. Nobody’s perfect, and in fact, perfect is the enemy of good. If that’s your position, defend it. If you can’t, you should look at why that is. It’s fine if we disagree, and disagreement is good to advance the discourse. We shouldn’t be a hive mind online. But defend your position. Explain why it’s okay for men to be put to death but not women. Or whatever your point of view is — I don’t want to put words in your mouth. Or maybe you don’t think it’s a double standard. Just explain your position better and defend it. It’s also fine to be “wrong” and own that, too. Like, I like pineapple on pizza. I know most don’t. But I own it. I’m not gonna convince someone who’s never had a great Hawaiian pie that it’s pretty good. I don’t need to, I like what I like and if that’s wrong… I’m not perfect.
