Both genders try to interrupt and talk over the other in meetings, but men are more often successful because their voices are naturally louder and they can easily drown out a woman's voice. When a woman tries to speak louder, her voice gets higher and therefore less authoritative..

Unless the chair intervenes to stop the interruption, the woman always gets drowned out and gives up, but often the chair, male or female, lets it happen.

My experience anyway.
