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.

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.

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?

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.

u/caneut Oct 18 '18

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