[QUOTE="random user, post: 1671675, member: 16581"] Being totally uninvolved in her game and not having talked to her at all about this, I will offer two examples I have seen. Note: this also applies to same-gender interactions at times, but since this thread is about gender bias, I'll just use the standard examples. *** These are hypothetical examples only *** Situation A: There is a discussion going on about a complex move that needs to be made. Female speaks up and proposes a plan. While she does that, male's mind is churning on something he thinks will work wonderfully. Being careful not to cut her off, he waits till she's done and then excitedly tells his plan. His perspective: Hey I'm sensitive, I didn't cut her off. Her perspective: Wow, they listened to me speak and didn't comment on it at all. Instead this guy just ignored it and launched into his own idea. Situation B: There is again a discussion going on about a complex move that needs to be made. Female again speaks up and proposes a plan. Male listens to it, thinks it has some great ideas, but thinks that one or two particular areas could use improvement. Someone else has started to speak, but when there is an opening to speak, he explains his improvements. His perspective: Wow, she had a pretty good idea; she's a great member of this party Her perspective: Wow, he just took 75% of my ideas and is basically proposing the same thing I did 2 minutes ago. And he didn't even acknowledge that I came up with the idea in the first place! Now, is the female here being over-sensitive? I think it depends on how regularly it happens and whether it regularly happens to everyone at the table. If everyone cuts off everyone and people expand on ideas all the time without complimenting or acknowledging the original idea, then she should just suck it up and deal. If it seems that it's not happening to other people but is to her, though, then I think there is a problem. These are just two hypothetical examples of things that males often do that females get ticked off at. [/QUOTE]
