If a man says something in the woods, and no woman hears him, is he still wrong?
This is quite easy to explain.
Since a man is wrong at the moment of speaking, the recipient or lack of a recipient of the message is irrelevant.
However, since the man was inconsiderate enough to make this mistake without his lady being present, thereby denying her the opportunity to comment, he is doubly wrong.
Besides, what was the man doing in the woods in the first place? There is a list of stuff that needs to be done at the house; so that's his third mistake.
Was the man trying to get away from the woman? That's now a "Relationship Issue" and he is automatically wrong.
This guy is having a bad day.
