> One study by the Yale psychologist Victoria Brescoll found that when male executives spoke more often, they were perceived to be more competent, but when female executives spoke more often, they were given lower competence ratings Here's is what the study they're referring to measured. They volunteers read one of 4 bios of an executive. They were identical except they were divided across whether the executive was described as male, female, talkative or quiet. They found that talkative women were rated a 4.83, quiet women 5.62, talkative men 5.64, quiet men 5.11. > The annual McKinsey and LeanIn.org Women in the Workplace report, which in 2019 surveyed 329 companies and more than 68,000 employees, found that half of the surveyed women had experienced being interrupted or spoken over and 38 percent had others take credit for their ideas. I imagine women are talked over more than men but I wish they'd share the percentage of men to show the disparity.
