gender and interruptions

There has been many articles about women being interrupted by men.

But is it really because men only interrupt women? 

I don't think so



If you actually listen to a group conversation with all males, you hear TONS and TONS of interruptions. So many interruptions that men with less verbal stamina feel overpowered and under-appreciated. So it's not surprise that the same males who dominate all-male conversations with their interruptions will do the same around women.
So ladies, if you feel you're being interrupted by a man, it doesn't mean he does it to you because you're a woman, because chances are he does it to men all the time. It's just that men are expected to either interrupt back or accept defeat.

Also, some women are not only notorious interrupters, some even play victim when stood up to!

The worst example is Keala Richard & Jan Kamiya, two sexist pigs  I wrote about at  http://pablowegesend.blogspot.com/2016/06/librarians-who-hate-evolution-theories.html

They must've seen that blog post because I noticed that post got a lot of clicks.



Also, Bernie Sanders got backlash for (gasp) telling Hillary Clinton to stop interrupting him.





But you know what?  

Equal rights, Equal fights!

Also, check out the blog post about the theatrical re-enactment with a a woman play the role of Donald Trump, and a man play the role of Hillary Clinton. The EXACT words, tone and hand motions made in this role playing.
