On April 27, 2026, Matthew Schleier was found not guilty by reason of insanity for strangling his five year old son Jack to death. According to his attorneys, Schleier was suffering from severe psychosis relating to his son’s food allergies, and believed that he was saving the boy from a horrible death. There was no outrage over the verdict; no legion of angry men demanded justice for Jack, or called for Schleier’s execution. He went off to the psych ward without a murmur of protest from any of the people who are so incredibly outraged by the idea that Lindsey Clancy might receive the same treatment. I’m sure I’ll get men in the comments pointing out that Matthew Schleier had no supporters, and that much is true. It’s also true that he didn’t need any. The justice system was allowed to assess his mental health on its own merits because no one was howling for his blood, whereas the mob was demanding vengeance for Cora, Dawson, and Callan before their bodies were even cold. No one accused Schleier of faking his illness, or claimed that schizophrenia isn’t real, or stated that because men are more prone to schizophrenia, they should lose the right to vote — and that’s because society has decided that a man’s crimes are only a reflection of him as an individual, whereas when a woman commits a crime, every woman everywhere is at least a little bit guilty. From the reaction, you’d think that every woman in the country showed up at that courthouse, donated to that GoFundMe, and stated publicly that the deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan were no big deal. The anger has been performative, deliberately over the top, and entirely indiscriminate. Meanwhile, Matthew Schleier’s sentence still hasn’t stirred up any controversy. He was actually acquitted, unlike Lindsey Clancy, who will face trial again, so you’d think that all of the people who were so angry about the mere possibility that she might not be found guilty would be up in arms about the fact that Matthew Schleier might someday become a free man. Instead, they’re as disinterested in Jack’s death as ever, and we all know why: because it doesn’t give them any excuse to paint women as insane, irresponsible, uncaring, or evil.

This is Gregory Green. In 1991, he stabbed his pregnant wife Tonya to death during an argument and then called 911 to report his crime. He was allowed to plead no contest to second degree murder and sentenced to 15-25 years in prison. While incarcerated, Gregory was a model prisoner, and with the support of pastor Fred Harris, he was paroled in 2008 after serving just 16 years. After his release, Gregory married Fred Harris’ daughter, Faith, who had two children from a previous marriage. Faith and Gregory had two daughters together, but Gregory’s anger and aggression caused Faith to file for divorce in September of 2016. He sought revenge right away. Before Faith could move out, Gregory tampered with his own car so that the exhaust was re-routed back into the car itself. Late one night, he took his two sleeping daughters, Koi (5) and Kaleigh (4) and put them in the car to suffocate before returning their bodies to their beds. Gregory then attacked his wife, duct taping her to a chair in the basement before cutting her on both sides of her face from ears to chin and shooting her in the foot — but he wasn’t done. Marching his two teenage stepchildren downstairs at gunpoint, he shot them both in the head in front of their screaming mother before bringing the bodies of Koi and Kaleigh downstairs for her to see. Gregory then went calmly upstairs and — once again — called 911 to report what he’d done. In spite of clear, indisputable evidence of premeditation, Gregory was allowed to plead guilty to four counts of second degree murder, torture, assault with intent to do great bodily harm and felony firearms violations. He was sentenced to 45-100 years in prison; although this was the second family he annihilated, he will be eligible for parole in just 47 years. This is the second man I’ve profiled who murdered his family, got locked up, got out, had a second family, and then murdered them too. If even one woman had been allowed to do such a thing, you can bet your life that we’d never hear the end of it. Ever hear of Gregory Green before today?
