Do many men simply not trust women?

Inspired by this article.

I know for the first couple of years my husband had a difficult time taking anything I said seriously, I guess because I was a women. One time we were visiting his old Dad. Dad had cleaned his wood burning stove out about 4 months before. I went outside to smoke and I was standing next to the metal bin that held the ashes…and I realized it was still hot, even though it had been months since it was set out there.
When I went back inside I told Rick and his dad. Neither one believed me. When I insisted, they came out to investigate..and Rick stuck his finger right into the ash and burned it! Then they believed me.

There was another incident, not long after that that I’ve told you about, where Rick was out of town and I was in a fecking tornado. I was on the phone with him, telling him I was in a tornado and he didn’t believe me because nothing was showing on the Weather Channel. Long story short, I hung up on him. After the storm passed, and my electricity came back on, my phone started ringing off the wall. It was Rick so I just ignored him. I finally answered and he was worried because (after it was all over) the Weather Channel had finally made mention of MULTIPLE TORNADOES TOUCHING DOWN IN MY TOWN.

Since those two incidents he has never dismissed me again.
