Quote by Steven Wright

If a man says something in the woods and there are no women there, is he still wrong?

If a man says something in the woods and there are no women

Summary

This quote humorously questions the notion that men are often seen as inherently wrong or mistaken in their opinions. It suggests that absence of women, who may have different perspectives or opinions, does not guarantee the accuracy or correctness of what a man says. The quote highlights the importance of considering diverse perspectives and avoiding stereotyping groups based on gender, indicating that being right or wrong is not an inherent trait but rather subjective and context-dependent.
