I think that women pushing back their feelings also has to do with how our brains are wired. Hormones that shape the female brain make us predisposed to wanting to keep the peace. We're chemically very attune to maintaining relationships, so when we detect something that could harm the relationship we would rather just take the blame and move on. It takes a very long time to unlearn this behavior and not back down when someone is treating you wrong.
