A reader commented on my article on backward rationalization about
women’s frequent misremembering or twisting of past event details:
“This
is a great article. As a rational man, with integrity, I struggle with
this all the time. Young women will routinely misremember things that
they said and did, in a way that allows them to not accept
responsibility. They’ll conjure up conversations, filling in my words,
for their benefit. Very often it is to save them from losing face.
Other times it is so they can avoid confronting the truth about
themselves. To me, this is lying, but if I’m mad about it, it’s some
“loss of frame”.
I had a post about this on redpill reddit a few months ago, asking
if you should ever question a girl about why she was dishonest, as it
seems pointless. The consensus seems that you just tell a woman what
she did, and that it wont be tolerated. When she argues, you ignore.”
What our reader here is remarking on is one of the core differences
in how men and women perceive the world, and it’s one it’s tremendously
important to have a handle on if you want to run your relationships
with women well.
The understanding is this: how a
woman remembers a past event has less to do with the facts of the event
than it has to do with how she feels right now.

This sounds topsy-turvy and wrongheaded from a male
perspective, because how on Earth can you expect to create a sane and
stable world if the past shifts with the sands of your very emotions?
However, it serves a critical role in how women deal with the world,
as well as with those around them.
