Actually, no.
And my remarks were not pompous, but yours were.
Especially since nowhere in the article does it mention the woman who saved her husbands life was mentally impaired.
But then again, neither did your original comment include any mention of your wife's mental impairment, just a general implication that all women are mentally impaired, and should instantly obey a man's command, even if doing so quite possibly would have resulted in both of their deaths.

But have a nice life!

I can't believe how insensitive you are. First you call me a "liar" and then you launch an obvious feminist attack on me. If you interpreted my statements in my original post that all women are 'mentally impaired', then you really have a problem, perhaps a MAN issue.???

Whether you like it or not, most men have a better awareness of the potential dangers in a wilderness environment than most women do. They always have and they always will, accept it. How many women loggers have you met?

Ask yourself this question: "Would I (you, sarasmom) rather be lost in the deep woods with one of my girlfriends or would I rather be lost in the woods with a man who is familiar with the dangers that could be lurking behind every rock?" If you answered yes to the first part, then that may explain your attitude towards men.

As for your comment that "[women] should instantly obey a man's command" does apply to the dangerous environment we are discussing here. Nowhere did I mention that this should extend to, say, the kitchen or the bedroom. Yes indeed, they should obey the command and do so immediately (again in a dangerous situation). The same would hold true for a man who was alerted by a woman (or even a child for that matter) of a potential hazard.

I still say that the man should have told his wife to run for help rather telling her to jab out the eye of an obviously pi$$ed off mountain lion.

I stand by my original statement that any man worth his salt would be thinking of his wife's safety first, and yes, "commanded" her to leave immediately. How do we know that her actions of hitting the cat with a stick didn't make things worse and he bit down harder on the man's head? He has taken a turn for the worse and might not survive. Did the wife cause more harm than good? We'll never know the answer.

I was not seeking your sympathy when I described my wife's brain injury and physical impairments, but I did expect a small amount of compassion from you in regards to her injuries. You only offered vile attacks on me for my alleged misogynistic attitude towards women in general.

You are grossly misguided and the most cold-hearted person I have met on FreeRepublic, to date. Please, in the future I ask that you NEVER respond to any of my posts. I will do same.
