Observation of men possibly subverting reality-requesting input

So this is something I've been researching and watching for quite some time now, although it is really difficult to find any research that addresses the issue.

I would really appreciate any and all personal experiences and observations that people have had, I just want to get a general sense of the scope and if it's promising I have a few ideas for specific instructions that will yield some actual scientific results. Let's measure reality!

The issue arises when a material object, appliance or household facility becomes dysfunctional or is suffering some form of disrepair and the initial person observing the problem and conveying this information happens to be a woman and said information is being conveyed to a man.
It has been my observation that in these situations, women convey the information about a poorly functioning appliance, a household construct in disrepair or other such physical object in need of either replacement or maintenance, and men may sometimes subtly minimize the issue, and when they are shown the problem, they seem to minimize it, deny that it is an issue, reroute the problem to identify it as something else or downplay the actuality of it.

It seems that any news, articles or blogs frame the problem, feminists including, as being included within the communication realm of venting and complaining, but there is a HUUUGE problem with that.

These are physical objects in the material world and observation of them is observation of reality itself. It seems women sometimes have to bring up the issue over and over again before men actually concede that the disrepair exists, but again, ITS REALITY, IT EXISTED VERY OBVIOUSLY.

So, in short, I am trying to prove that the gendered biases men form and the cognitive filters for their reception of womens communication make them severely incompetent in actually observing and processing obvious facets of reality and it's the cause of the majority of dysfunction in the world at large.

I would love some feedback on personal stories to get a feel for how widespread this is or if it's a minimal issue and unproductive thread to follow.

The rule for determining if an issue fits within this criteria is simple: if you can take a picture of it and demonstrate some sort of problem in need of repair, then it qualifies. Just as a side note, if you are going to take pictures of, say, a crack in your wall that you've pointed out to your husband and he believes is hardly noticeable or not really there, please be sure that he does not witness ypu taking a picture. I have a suspicion that it will change the cognitive processing men have, and in order to measure the deficit of competent reality integration men exhibit with women, the potential for outside 'objective' observation has a high probability of reframing their conclusions to believe that the problem is real.
