Just a few today. In our house this week we have been mostly cleaning and decluttering, so I haven’t been reading many articles online. Feel free to add your own recommendations for relevant stories, articles, posts and threads in the comments. 
- Murder vs Murder
James Harrison murdered his five children “because his wife was leaving him”. That excuse is given in the headline. He killed them but it was her fault…..There is however no excuse given for Jael Mullings murder of her two children. Authorities were called to her home shortly before the murders because she was seen screaming and mumbling in the street but didn’t have the good sense to take the children somewhere safe at that time. No mention is made of the children’s father who had left the mentally ill mother in sole charge of his two children. Doesn’t anyone think as a 21-year-old woman, being left to look after two small boys might actually be the cause of mental health problems? Or do men have a right to leave women in the lurch that women don’t have?”

“If you have only girls, you don’t feel right inside,” said Ms. Zhen, who has one child, an 11-year-old son. “You feel your status is lower than everyone else.”"A girl is just not as good as a son,” said Mr. Su, 38, who has a 14-year-old daughter but whose biological son died at 3 months. “It doesn’t matter how much money you have. If you don’t have a son, you are not as good as other people who have one.”
