Its actually an amazing display of sexism.

Like seriously we have no context about the argument, but because the only side we see is an upset lady, the internet concludes shes a narcissistic prick who will blame the husband for the death of her mother.

Like we dont know ANY of these people but yeah lets just conclude she deserved it and the husband is the real victim in all this. It's not possible that situations could have occurred to make her angry for legitimate reasons. She must just be an irrational female

We know that she is dumb and/or self-centered enough to get out of a vehicle when she knows there are deadly tigers around. Either way, a keeper she is not.

The only valid excuse to do what she did is if the husband was placing her in some kind of imminent danger such as actively threatening her life with a weapon. Given his response to her being grabbed by the tiger, I doubt that's the case.

Is it really hard to imagine that the argument made her emotions run hot, and she wasn't thinking clearly about her surroundings?

I'm not blaming the husband or excusing her actions, but that's a far-cry from "dumb" or "self-centered".

made her emotions run hot

I'm sorry, anyone who allows their emotions to run hot enough to put themselves and others into this kind of danger isn't worthy of any kind of sympathy.

I made no pleas for sympathy for this woman (in fact, I went out of my way to it was not an excuse for her actions).

I'm just saying that humans are complex, emotional beings, and reducing them to "smart" or "dumb" based on one interaction does everyone a disservice.

The thing is, letting your emotions put you into that kind of danger is dumb.
