Yelling AND saying something insulting at the same time was overkill. Just repeating "Hold on here" or something similar at increasing volumes until other people finally shut up would have had the same benefits. Still insulting, but less so. I interrupt people all the time, male and female alike. (Hey -- if you're paying my rates, you might want to actually hear what I have to say. :D) It does seem more necessary to then go back and ask the women afterwards what they were trying to say; the men generally don't need that kind of prompting.
