How can women disrupt male speech domination?

It’s not necessarily discriminatory. It’s not discriminatory to disallow a person in a wheelchair from being a firefighter because the job simply requires the ability to climb ladders. If “social sensitivity” is a qualification for teamwork, that doesn’t mean that no one who doesn’t have it can be useful, but it might mean that they ought not expect to get work where teamwork is important.

Beyond that, I don’t know why you insist on imagining that people do these things on purpose. For someone who claims to not read in unspoken messages, you seem pretty insistent on that one (or do people tell you that they do this on purpose?).

Persecution complex aside, that might be promising, but it is necessary and hard to implement because communication is complex. There isn’t a shortcut where everyone just expresses themselves exactly.

If you think that’s an easy solution, you just don’t know anything about people. People are meat machines with limited capabilities, you know, you can’t just reprogram them, and they can’t just reprogram themselves. It’s okay to not know anything about people, but maybe you should defer to people who do when questions about people come up instead of insisting you have all the answers?
