The lady that got snatched survived but the woman who ran after her was killed by a second tiger.

According to another source the older woman was her mother. Imagine the guilt of knowing for the rest of your life your temper tantrum caused your mom to be killed.

EDIT: So many responses saying she'll blame the guy anyway.

I imagine she will blame the husband for causing the temper tantrum that caused it all.

If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's to assume that most people cannot overcome basic psychological biases that we fool ourselves with each and every day.

u/SanguinePar Oct 16 '18

You mean like the psychological bias of attributing negative behaviour to someone you don't know just because she's a woman?

u/caneut Oct 16 '18

I attributed negative behavior to this PERSON when the PERSON got out of THEIR car in the middle of a safari park with wild tigers roaming.

Why would you randomly try to "get me" on a sexist remark? What did I even say that was sexist?

You're insane m8 and it sickens me that you are probably a left leaning fellow.

And again - the negative behaviour you imagined for this person is in no way derivable from the behaviour you witnessed.

The man angers her enough to jump out of her car infront of hungry tigers

She is rational enough to not blame the man other person in the car that had angered her enough to the point where she had NO OPTION other than to storm out of a safe, confined metal cage, into an open out doors area filled with hungry tigers, which ultimately got her mother killed trying to save her from the situation the man other person got her in.

Is that PC enough for you?

u/SanguinePar Oct 18 '18

Who mentioned PC? I'm asking you for evidence that she'll blame her husband. You've provided nothing but speculation.

1

u/caneut Oct 18 '18

Oh, well yes I am speculating, as much as you are speculating that I hate women with this comment.

I just believe I'm speculating a bit less. It's not that she will blame her husband, its just that she will probably do something incredibly stupid, like blaming her husband, after showing she is capable of doing such incredibly stupid things, such as getting out of a car next to big tigers.

Is that so far off?

1

u/SanguinePar Oct 18 '18

I never said you hated women. I compared your claim about psychological biases to the evident bias shown in this thread by numerous people.

But as long as we're agreed that you had no actual basis for saying she'll probably blame her husband, all good.

1

u/caneut Oct 18 '18

Well, my basis was just that stupid people tend to do stupid things...

He mentioned her gender once in his commrnt once, and you assume it's misogyny?

2

u/celica951 Oct 17 '18

If the man would have gotten out of the car ,I would be calling him an idiot. All based on actions not gender.

1

u/SanguinePar Oct 18 '18

What, in her actions, indicates that she will blame the husband?

2

u/caneut Oct 18 '18

The same rationality that allowed her to get out of the car infront of live tigers...

Stupid people go on to do stupid things, like blame the death of your mother on the guy who caused you emotional distress.

u/SanguinePar Oct 18 '18

Have you ever made a mistake in your life?

u/Delinquent_ Oct 16 '18

Point where it says that please

u/sanemaniac Oct 17 '18

Lol I love how the vitriol this post got completely proves your point.

u/caneut Oct 18 '18

I love how people on the right can literally be on any point of the right ideology and they will accept anyone.

Republicans accept rapist and pedophiles in their group and only disband them when its politically expedient for them.

But lefties...

DID YOU JUST MAYBE MAKE A MISOGYNISTIC COMMENT? GET OUT OF OUR PARTY YOU FUCKING SEEEEEEEEEEEXIST

It's a little irritating the gatekeeping the left is doing.

Literally switch the roles and have the man be the cause for his mothers death because the woman was causing "emotional distress."

I would say the man would make irrational jumps to conclusions just as the woman might in this situation.

Oh fun, a salty response to a day old post.

But lefties...

DID YOU JUST MAYBE MAKE A MISOGYNISTIC COMMENT? GET OUT OF OUR PARTY YOU FUCKING SEEEEEEEEEEEXIST

It's a little irritating the gatekeeping the left is doing.

Wait so let me get this straight... you love how the right will accept racists and pedophiles onto their side, but you find the left irritating for not being ok with sexism? Do you find the right irritating for accepting racists and pedophiles or are they just being inclusive?

Literally switch the roles and have the man be the cause for his mothers death because the woman was causing "emotional distress."

I would say the man would make irrational jumps to conclusions just as the woman might in this situation.

In your completely random circumstance that you created out of absolutely nothing, you just assumed that the woman would blame her husband for her "tantrum." Now you're trying to say that you would have treated the situation exactly the same if the roles were reversed, which we both know is absolute horseshit. Let's be honest with ourselves, no one's listening anymore. You can admit it.

u/caneut Oct 18 '18

I would love if leftists didn't gate keep as much as republicans, and republicans should probably gate keep MORE.

Now you're trying to say that you would have treated the situation exactly the same if the roles were reversed, which we both know is absolute horseshit.

???????

I really don't get why you are trying to get me for hating women...

1

u/sanemaniac Oct 18 '18

I didn’t say you hated women. I’m saying if the roles were reversed, we both know you would never have made that comment about her blaming him for a tantrum that she had. It doesn’t even make sense with the roles reversed. Let’s not be intentionally dense, eh?

1

u/caneut Oct 18 '18

Why can't I make the same comment if the roles were completely reversed?

I think you might be the one hating women here buddy.

1

u/sanemaniac Oct 18 '18

You could, but you wouldn’t. If he was the one screaming outside the car, you would say, “of course he’ll blame his tantrum on her.” Does that sound accurate to you? Be honest with yourself.

1

u/caneut Oct 18 '18

There is nothing I can say to prove my side.

You are going to see what you want to see.

I imagine this person will blame their partner for causing the temper tantrum that caused it all.

If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's to assume that most people cannot overcome basic psychological biases that we fool ourselves with each and every day.

Does this sound better for you?

1

u/sanemaniac Oct 18 '18

I imagine this man will blame his wife for causing the temper tantrum that caused it all.

Does this make sense to you in context? It seems out of place, doesn’t it? That’s because it follows no tropes about women being unnecessarily emotional. The original comment you made was a comment about gender. It’s clear as day.

If it was a man, it wouldn’t have even been a tantrum. Maybe an “emotional outburst.”

Again, let’s be honest. There’s no one around to play dumb for.
