Not much has changed since the early 1980s when Dale Spender recorded and timed how long and often women spoke in conversations with men. However, at least we now that we have a name for it, we can call it out!
“Moreover, men literally have no clue how much they talk. When Spender asked students to evaluate their perception of who talked more in a given discussion, women were pretty accurate; but men perceived the discussion as being “equal” when women talked only 15% of the time, and the discussion as being dominated by women if they talked only 30% of the time.” Spender, Dale, and Elizabeth Sarah, eds. Learning to Lose. London: The Women’s Press, 1982. (x)
