This had to be the liveliest show we have done so far.  And it was amazing to hear the variety of thoughts from men and women.  It seemed this show struck a nerve for everyone.  Before we hit the airwaves, the controversy started on Facebook where the topic for the show was first announced.  Once on the air, some callers were happy to engage in the topic, while others almost turned it into

What if men have created a false presupposition about the way women think and speak?  What if the value of the woman’s message is lost to those presuppositions, even though she is being emotional? 

On this show, Ted and Blair are going to facilitate a conversation that may be highly charged.  However, this is the opportunity to get to the bottom of it.  We invite you to help us explore this topic in search of the facts, even if it does get a little emotional.
