Rationalization Hamster - It is a creature that inhabits the female brain and helps them spin out rationalizations when they get into a predicament. When faced with a a dilemma, the female brain that houses the rationalization hamster, causes the hamster to start working by jumping on its
wheel and running really hard. In the process it spins out a rationalization β an
excuse, that absolves the
woman of the blame and predicates it upon farcical self- justification.
Female - I know it is not his baby, but if I
don'
t tell him that, it'
s not actually a lie. After all, I won't be hurting his feelings.
Guy - Wow! So you believe it'
s not a lie when you make him falsely believe that the child is his, and hide the fact that you lied to and cheated on him?
Female - It just happened like that. I was heavily
drunk and was not thinking clearly. So it'
s not my fault, you see.
Guy - Damn, that female rationalization hamster must be working overtime!
