Our thanks to Nigel for this (video, 3:50). He writes:
“This is a heartfelt short video about a woman’s father who killed his wife and was tried last year. The death was in a situation often repeated where the wife was violent towards him and others. The daughter is in fact making a plea for men to be treated as human beings too. Yet even here there is a subtle difference. In that her father accepts responsibility for his conviction and there is little no bleating about things in the way that is familiar from cases of women, even those who planned and prepared their supposed accidental killing of their husband or partner. As this daughter points out men can’t point to their trauma as mitigation, because we (society) presume they aren’t human beings,”
