[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound like you suck at your job. You have been doing this for years and when this man was talking over the woman who was soft-spoken it didn't occur to you to specifically speak to her or ask her questions directly? How many memes and books and tweets and so on have been made about men sucking all the air out of the room and taking up all the space and people having to be intentional to help women be heard?

Why can't some women (and men) just speak up, if they want to be heard. Fwiw I get shut down in meetings all the time because often I'm not able to articulate my point at that moment. So I always bring the topic up again at the end of the meeting when the organizer asks "is there anything else we need to discuss?". I can tell many people are annoyed because they want to leave, but I do it anyway, because I want to be heard. Then, if I'm still not able to articulate my point I might send an after-email explaining why I think it's important. People who want to be heard should speak up, even if, especially if, they are being shut down due to race/gender.[/quote]
