This clip of a woman getting utterly busted for cheating live on
radio is a good summary of female reaction when confronted with unsavory
facts.
1. Denial when she is first confronted. .
2. Denial is not working. The hamster wheel starts spinning. She has to figure a way out of the mess. She knows she’s busted. Hesitation, defensiveness, dissembling, lame attempts at explanation.
3. Then she recasts it as having made “mistakes”. Atttempted reframe. The hamster has settled on her explanation.
4. Her explanation is not working. She resorts to crying. This serves two purposes: to show submission (don’t hit me, I’m a crying girl!) and to garner sympathy (how can you be so mean to me!).
5. Crying’s not working. She turns to shaming “What kind of people are you?! I hate you!”
