Women of Mastodon! How do you deal with men talking over you in a professional setting?

2/ None of my go-tos are great. Interjecting, “can I please finish,” is the best I have. Raising your voice and repeating until they stop is aggressive and bitchy.

Letting them say whatever, totally ignoring, and starting over from the beginning also works but is super bitchy.

@briannawu As a bloke I’m aware I’m not who you’re asking. I would just like to say however that those are not something I’d consider bitchy. If the muppet can’t shut their mouth and be polite, that’s a them problem and they can learn to back off because they can’t behave like that. Disallow that behaviour by making it impossible. Don’t stop talking. You have the ground.

Woman: "Hey, women..."
Man: "Hey, I'm a man, and I'm going to talk where women were asked to, like we always do"
