[ExI] Hallelula!

[Dan TheBookMan]

As always, I wonder if this is true or just reinforcing a bad stereotype. For instance, just after a quick check, I found this:

I recall, too, several studies showing men tend to dominate conversations and have no problem interrupting women. So I’m thinking this is just a bad stereotype reinforced by selective recall. (Or does anyone have anything other than anecdotes about this?)
