Most men do not fully comprehend just how much a woman's emotional nature affects her entire reality. Even when a woman is logically aware that her emotions have taken her perception hostage, this awareness does not grant her control over those emotions. She is almost helplessly devoid of full objectivity until her emotions subside.
Imagine a woman on a raft in turbulent waters, heading towards a waterfall. She knows she is heading towards the waterfall and does her best to paddle to safety. Nevertheless, she is still carried by the rough waters, through rapids, and towards the inevitable fall.
A common example is when a woman is with a good man and she logically knows he is a good man. However, his behaviour changes, hurting her - causing her to lose positive feelings and focus instead on negative ones - she decides to leave. Even though she logically understands this may not be the best decision overall - emotionally, she will say "it doesn't feel right" and justify her choice to leave. Later, when her negative feelings subside, she must live with the logical consequences of her decision - sometimes with regret. A deep state of denial is also another possible outcome.
Many women believe they are being highly logical when analysing their emotions and decisions - yet they are still subject to the influence of their emotional state at the time. A wise woman knows to pause and do nothing, allowing time for her emotions to pass.
I’ve heard it said that women form justifications for their action after the fact
