The answer entirely depends on whether or not the speaker in question spoke a factual or a nonfactual comment. Or if he spoke loudly enough for his voice to be carried to an object which would reverberate his sound-waves and they echoed so that the woman in question could hear what was being said.
Assuming the woman is actually listening. Research shows the intersection of activities such that "Man Talks" and "Woman Listens" is too insignificant to be of concern.

Does a sound have to be heard to be a sound?

Tough one. You're asking: Is the sound the vibrations in the
material medium, or is the sound
the sensation in the brain of a person or animal ?
I'm an engineer, and here's my personal opinion: To me, the sound
is the vibration in the material medium,
and it doesn't care whether or not there's anybody there to hear
it.
So when a tree falls in the forest and there's nobody there to hear
it, yes, it still makes a sound anyway.
And when a man speaks in the forest and there's no woman there to
hear him, yes, he's still wrong anyway.
