    Why is this wrong - or is it? Seems like a pretty normal reaction to being attacked? Is it wrong because a woman's statements always have to be believed?

    What if I own a company and don't want my employees to have a voice in how things are done? Why shouldn't that be allowed? And what if I hire workers to build me a house - should t…
