My observations of women are based mostly on a sample of one, which is not good statistics but, at the risk of finding myself stuck halfway up the bedpost for rather longer than usual, I'll say this:

It's true. Men suffer from something I call selective amnesia. Women don't; they hoard their grudges. I can almost hear the cogs grind as each one is retrieved from memory and brooded over. A school teacher confirmed this theory when she said she knew girls of thirteen who were still looking for payback for a party they weren't invited to when they were nine.

A typical boy's reaction would have been "What party?

"
Then there's the problem of the grudge that can never be reconciled because, sometimes, bad things just happen and it's nobody's fault.

Don't be ridiculous! Bad things don't just happen. It must be somebody's fault.

A woman will not rest until she can blame somebody - anybody!
And then, to cap it all, women have this curious ability to be offended by things that men simply don't notice.

It's like an extra sense that detects the slightest hint of anything remotely unfriendly, even in a complete stranger at forty paces! Maybe they really can do this.

It might have served a useful purpose in our prehistoric past but now it just gives them more 'bad things' to dust off and brood over at regular intervals.
But it's late now - and I should be in bed - and the simple fact is, when a goddess gives you an order, you obey it.
