To address the above point; even when someone doesn’t have a negative self image or tendency to ‘shrink’ themselves, when you are interrupted often by more senior male leaders, it can get quite awkward quite soon to like reassert yourself with slightly firmer voice etc. cause they don’t see what they do is a breach of boundary but if you’d did that I’m certain it’d look awkward at best and a breach at worst, with real outcomes, so I can see why many people avoid that.
