If you are a woman and are speaking when a man butts in, you have not been interrupted. Instead, according to Time, you have been manterrupted because men disproportionately interrupt females and women rarely interrupt males.
According to an article published this week, titled How Not to Be Manterrupted In Meetings and written by Jessica Bennett, there is an epidemic of sexism in which men do not respect the opinions of women.
Bennetts first example is the infamous VMA award ceremony in which Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift. Yet this was not an aberration, according to Bennett, who sees it as the norm. She defines manterruption as Unnecessary interruption of a woman by a man.
Oddly, Bennett did not say that occasionally men interrupt women, nor does she say that only some do. Instead, she writes that it is men that interrupt women, period, and that all women have faced this menace.
We speak up in a meeting, she writes of women, only to hear a mans voice chime in louder. We pitch an idea, perhaps too uncertainly only to have a dude repeat it with authority. We may possess the skill, but he has the right vocal chords which means we shut up, losing our confidence (or worse, the credit for the work).

” It also comes down to the relevance and DURATION of your comments.”
Oh my gosh...the ones who babble on and on just to dominate the conversation, marveling the sound of the their own voice.
about sixty seconds ... during that two minutes
Uh... something's not adding up here. I think I'll need to requisition more fingers and toes.
Women get interrupted because they talk emotion to build “consensus” instead of planning the next logical step of procedure so WE CAN ALL GET OUT OF THIS ENDLESS MEETING!!!
And Time should become Mime and STFU
I think I was married to you once. LOL Just kidding.
So when you are in a meeting and a woman interrupts frequently, she’s actually a tranny? The things you can learn from Time are amazing.
Standard femaale behavior.
Pretty much my experience at meetings at work.
If you were wondering if you paid too much for your education...
That means in a meeting of all men that there’s constant interruption and yet nobody seems to get their panties in a bunch about it.
Yeah, see what I did there? Ask for one minute and take two....
