I've never heard a man tell a woman that her opinion is of no interest.

Have you never been in a meeting where your input was discounted? Only to hear very similar points forwarded by a man and discussed with gusto?

No? Lucky you.

Oh yes!!

Put forward a suggestion only to have it discounted, then hear the very same suggestion put forward by a man at a meeting and received with enthusiasm by another man. Then actioned!!

Gagajo No I haven't. I was a clerk/typist in a world of quite high ranking Civil Servants. No one, male or female, would have been remotely interested in anything I had to say.

Callistemon yes, very common experience

I’m not taking the bins out…….😂😂

So many times, especially when younger. it was like I didn't exist. and when I was a team leader over men, (NACRO) got put down and teased constantly. I couldn't handle it, I left. In the circles I move in now, not.
At the gym I am at I've had a lot of support for my recent divorce from Ex, who was coercively abusive and was also a member but a "charmer" to women unless he lost it. But hostility from one man, who is clearly sure it was my fault, despite evidence.
