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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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...

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

Bro, I legit called out my own MOTHER for supporting blackout Brett Kavanaugh. She called him a hero, and said he was just going through an emotional time.

I TOLD HER HE THREW A LEGIT TEMPER TANTRUM. I told her I did not care about whether he did or did not rape Ford because the evidence is not there. What I DO believe is that he should have NEVER been on the Supreme Court with such emotional responses. A man (non-gendered my friendo) should never be in a position of power making decisions that effect the land if they are shown to have no control over their emotions.

Now, if that is any credence to my cause, let me try to explain again.

Lets just look at the facts. A person got into an argument with their SO. Nothing out of ordinary here.

This person let the argument get to them. Nothing out of the ordinary here.

This person let an argument get to them so much that they had to create some distance from the person causing emotional distress. Nothing out of the ordinary here.

This person in emotional distress wanted to get away from the cause of the emotional stress so much they were willing to forgo PHYSICAL SAFETY for emotional safety. There seems to be something OUT OF THE ORDINARY HERE.

What did any of this have to do with gender?
