Action Alert: Psychology Today Praises Woman Who Murdered Her Husband as ‘Great Revenge’

Letter from Fathers & Families to Psychology Today:
To learn more about the Clara Harris case, see my co-authored Houston Chronicle column Suppose Roles Had Been Reversed in Clara Harris Case (1/27/07).Kaja Perina
Editor-in-Chief
Psychology Today
115 E. 23rd St., 9th Floor

Dear Ms. Perina & Psychology Today:
In the shockingly irresponsible article “Sweet Revenge” (Psychology Today, January/February 2010), Regina Barreca, Ph.D. praises convicted Texas killer Clara Harris for her “great moment of revenge.” The act for which Barreca praises Harris? In 2002, Harris repeatedly ran over her ex-husband David, as David’s daughter Lindsey sat in the front seat of the car begging Clara Harris not to kill her father.
While Barreca praises Clara Harris, Lindsey, who loved her father and was only 16 years old at the time of the killing, publicly denounced Clara Harris for “the ultimate act of selfishness, caring only about obtaining revenge and thinking not one bit about how her horrible act was going to affect me or my brothers, Brian and Bradley. Anyone who shared my ride in the car that evening, seeing my dad’s face as he was about to be hit, and experiencing the horrible feel of the car bumping over his body would understand that this murderess deserves no sympathy.”
Lindsey says that Clara mistreated and neglected David, and that her father often confided in her how lonely he felt. Coupled with Clara’s temper and evident capacity for violence, David had ample reason to want to get out of the relationship. Instead of letting him go, Clara killed him. Does Psychology Today feel this is praiseworthy?
Besides condoning violence, Barreca’s article also reeks of gender bias. The majority of divorces are initiated by women, not by men, and research shows that women’s decision to divorce often catches their husbands by surprise. These men don’t just lose their wives, they often lose their children, too, and their rationale for feeling betrayed is often far more legitimate than Clara Harris’. Does Barreca also feel it would be “great revenge” for these men to murder their wives?
No type of marital or post-marital violence should ever be condoned, much less praised, and Psychology Today should immediately and clearly distance itself from Barreca’s reprehensible statements.
Sincerely,
Glenn Sacks, MA

Done.
What a way to bring the Profession into disrepute. As though it were not already on its knees before the feminist mantras, now it has to praise murderers.
Cum dilectione hominum et odio vitiorum
Love the Sinner but not the Sin.
(St. Augustine)
“ For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. “
(and within ourselves)
(Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)
A Feminist is a human being who has lost her way and turned vicious.
If you meet one on the road as you Go your Own Way,
offer kindness but keep your sword drawn.

Sure. They 'snapped'. That makes it OK then.
Poor thing. Diddums snap and kill the nasty man? We'll get a shrink to praise you in a journal and make you a TV heroine. There, there.

Well we all know, when women snap - they need help. When men snap - they need punishment... just like every crime.

Husband : "How about the ones like mine?"
Wife : "Those they gave away."
Husband : "I had a dream too...I dreamt they were auctioning off pussy. The pretty ones went for a thousand dollars, and the little tight ones went for two thousand."
Wife : "And how much for the ones like mine?"
Husband : "That's where they held the auction."

Added signature.
It seems misandry is rife in the field of psychology.
The wicked flee when none pursueth. Proverbs 28:1
'Rise like Lions after slumber In unvanquishable number - Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you - Ye are many - they are few.'
Percy Bysshe Shelley
"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. "
Thomas Jefferson
The internet has been a lifeboat for men's opposition to the floodings of feminism.

I've heard of Oxygen Network but never watched it. I'm not surprised but still disgusted that it would have a show glorifying murderous women."...it is clear that anti-male bigotry is a widespread and dangerous virulent phenomenon. If Andrea Dworkin, Catherine Mackinnon, Mary Daly and their online groupies ... are not enough to convince you consider Valerie Solanas." - my words from my blog - http://funktardtroll.blogspot.com/20...ry-exists.html

Re: Action Alert Psychology Today Praises Woman Who Murdered Her Husband as Great Rev
It's too bad we don't have the Psychology Today article to read in its entirety so that we could analyze this more closely. I would like to see from what exact context these phrases are taken. Whilst the phrases "sweet revenge" and "great revenge" by themselves sound like the author's perception of the situation, perhaps what they really are, are Clara's perceptions of the situation, which, as her daughter very sadly notes, are not everyone else's perception of the same thing.
"Civilization can only revive when there shall come into being in a number of individuals a new tone of mind, independent of the prevalent one among the crowds, and in opposition to it- a tone of mind which will gradually win influence over the collective one, and in the end determine its character. Only an ethical movement can rescue us from barbarism, and the ethical comes into existence only in individuals."
"Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace."-Albert Schweitzer

Re: Action Alert Psychology Today Praises Woman Who Murdered Her Husband as Great Rev
I too would prefer reading the article in question before signing any petition. This is not to say I distrust Glenn Sacks or Ned Holstein, but I do believe in due diligence and am unlikely to sign something without reviewing the material myself first. Quote from Incognito
Here is what I have found:
The author's website.
Her blog at Psychology Today.
A book she authored titled [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Sweet-revenge-wicked-delights-getting/dp/0425157660"]Sweet Revenge: The Wicked Delights of Getting Even[/ame].
The January issue lists Getting Even: Stories of Sweet Revenge on the cover, but I've yet to find the story.
