no, but the interrupting itself tends (of course not always, just tends) to be a male habit, and we males are kind of used to interrupting each other kind of like an extension of boyhood rough play, or something, but it's not the same experience as that experienced by many females.
- civilized 4y agoIt would be interesting if men and women have a different average tolerance for being interrupted. We would want to be sensitive to that, not just assume that the "male default" is how every group meeting should work.
- commandlinefan 4y agoI’m male and am interrupted far more often by females.
- lamontcg 4y agoIt is actually fundamentally more about social status and reputation, just like high school.
- rustybelt 4y agoWhy should males be asked to change their communication style to be more feminine? Especially in a majority male working environment? Shouldn’t the women be the ones to adapt? Is there something inherently wrong with how men tend to communicate? It actually seems more sexist to make these changes because supposedly “fragile” women can’t handle the existing environment.
- zzzeek 4y agoI'd welcome less aggression and one-upmanship in workplaces also.
