Females are a unique creature in the animal kingdom due to the fact that they have the extraordinary ability to create reasons to justify any decision they make, despite the decision being negative in nature. For example, a women deep in debt can walk into Nordstrom’s (the mecca of shoes apparently) and purchase a pair of uncomfortable $500 Manolo Blahnik stilettos that only match one of her outfits. Her justification? “It’s ok because they were on sale and used to cost $1200, plus if I use them twice then they only really cost $250.” A more extreme, yet common example of this ability is when a female elects to stay with her boyfriend after discovering his affair with her best friend. Her reason for following this course of action? “It’s ok because he said it was an accident and my best friend and I share everything anyway.” This skill is also used collectively in female dominated pow wows. During these gatherings, they will come up with reasons to justify anything for their fellow females, which often go to tune of, “I’m glad you dumped your handsome, faithful and successful boyfriend that you’re in love with. He was a jerk anyway, girlfriend!” and “Don’t worry about sleeping with him on the first date, you’re too pretty to be considered easy.” Similar to when an ostrich plants its head in the sand when frightened, it may seem bizarre to those lacking this genetic trait. But to a female, it is a perfectly normal and effective tool in aiding her in making difficult decisions and making them comfortable with the decisions they’ve already made.
