What you always thought was true:  some men can literally not hear women.   
Female chancellor resigns from St. Paul-Minneapolis archdiocese sex abuse team:
At one point, Joe Kueppers, the current civil chancellor, suggested the problem was not with the terms but her voice, and "that if I could speak in a more masculine octave, it might be easier for the other (male) group members to accept my arguments."


A man committing suicide took time to do his bit for science: he described the flavor of cyanide in his note.  Sadly, it does not taste like bitter almonds.

I expect that's especially true in an organisation that only allows men in the official hierarchy.

There go like 40 Agatha Christie novel though.

I'm not sure "it burns the tongue and taste acrid" is so far off "bitter almonds" (especially as he was having it dissolved in alcohol)
