Editorial on Sympathetic Journalism: The Feminization of Murder

by A Concerned Journalist

The news has been dominated lately by coverage of so-called Matron Murders. The Columbus Daily Sun and the Oklahoma City Express Register have recently published articles by the enterprising Lady Girlington.

Miss Girlington, while undoubtedly well-intended, is utilizing dangerous rhetoric that engenders an undeserved sympathy for these murderesses. Rather than describe these horrific crimes in plain terms, Miss Girlington uses feminine symbols that soften the brutality of the act and might cause her more impressionable readers to consider these criminals to be desperate, marginalized people at the end of their rope [Edit: The Vista Chronicle received complaints about what some considered a pun in poor taste. We have re-printed this article in its full, original context but would like to state that we believe the anonymous author’s unfortunate word choice does not reflect a trivialization of the shocking crimes detailed in this editorial], with nowhere else to turn.

Miss Girlington has, in various publications, likened convicted killer Mrs. Wright to a “songbird.” Much of the space in her articles has been dedicated to lushly detailed domestic scenes. She takes great care to mention the cherry preserves and quilting in Mrs. Wright’s kitchen. Considerably less space is dedicated to the upstairs bedroom where the cold body of her husband lay, still in the elaborately knotted noose she threaded around the bed frame. She mentions the dainty broken birdcage door, but not the husband’s broken neck. Likewise, she has given much credit to the deceased Miss Emily Greirson. Emily is painted as a respectable woman from a good family who gave china painting lessons and kept to herself. Here, Miss Girlington does go into detail when describing the crime scene: romantically described in terms one would use if writing for a lady’s magazine about the art of domestic arrangement. She mentions the engraved toiletries set, the neatly arranged garments, and most of all, the rose accents in the budoir turned tomb.

This concerned journalist would like to ask, where is the sympathy for the male victims? Why are there roses for Emily but baseless accusations for the men who can no longer defend themselves?
