My supervisor at work is female and I tend to be an occasional interrupter during our 1:1s but I say it’s because my memory isn’t what it used to be and I worry I might forget to address something I need to interject at that very moment; however, everything that "man interrupting woman" represents (as so well-expressed in this piece) is omnipresent in my head. But this piece taught me I can perhaps consider myself more of an overlapper than the (more negatively perceived) interrupter.

I also found interesting Trump’s mocking quip described as "a little girly" and "fussy and feminine" and it reminded me of the recent NYT opinion essay "We Can Do Better Than ‘Positive Masculinity'" and excerpts such as: "'There’s just this fear of being a feminine man,' a 12th grader in New York told me."
