Student Records Male Classmates Repeatedly Interrupting Her During Zoom Calls And Her TikTok Goes Viral

ADVERTISEMENT

Claire McDonnell is 1 of 4 women among almost 60 men in a graduate science and finance program at the University of Iowa. And the minority have a problem.

“Some of us girls have the top standings in the program, and no matter how experienced we are, none of the men seem to take us seriously,” the 22-year-old told BuzzFeed News.

More info: TikTok

McDonnell got reminded of that earlier this week, when she was on a Zoom call for a commercial underwriting group project. Her male classmates were repeatedly interrupting and shutting down her ideas. It got so bad, that the woman even began recording it.

McDonnell said she only planned to send the video to a friend and another woman in the program. But after she watched the clip back and thought, she thought it was such a great example of “how often this happens to women in a male-dominated field,” she posted it on her public TikTok account.

There, it immediately went viral, and has already been viewed over 2.5 million times.

@cleaselmy male classmates love listening to my input and letting me finish my sentences ❤️. true respectful kings 🥰. ##fyp ##womeninstem ##misogyny ##men♬ original sound – Claire McDonnell

I am a woman who owns and runs an estate sale company with a female partner. We do all the organization work, appraising items and selling it at the sale. We're 59 and 65 years old. We still get men who ask if there's a man they can talk to about tools, a vehicle, lawnmowers, generators, etc. It's maddening.

Yep. OMG. Back in my day? It was *worse*. You didn't get into STEM if you were female, unless you did thrice as much, and thrice as well, and then? You had to dodge the male professors who saw female students as either secretaries or sex objects. And that was the early 1990s... *sigh* And in med school? People asked "Why not just be a nurse?" (OMG.) And and and... Yep. I can fix the car, the house, and the broken leg, but I need to go cook supper and hush. (And some of that came from WOMEN.) RAISE BETTER PEOPLE.

During my PhD work one of the men in the program told me I should be home by five every evening because my son "deserved a childhood". Same guy got mad at me "acting cute" when I told him I would only make time to train him if he stopped showing up 20 minutes late. This was about 5 years ago.

Thanks to all the men who so graciously came on here to mansplain how this has zero to do with her being a woman. We appreciate you correcting this woman on her frequent, painfully common experiences as a woman in a male dominated room, as well as the thousands of other women who have experienced this their entire lives. You surely know better than all of them...obviously the only way they would be sexist is if they actually screamed "I hate women!!"...nothing short of that can be sexist, right guys? These silly females, I swear.

Men would also talk over seemingly weaker men, or the ones who shut up after being interrupted. In the conversation men tend to let the ones on the higher level of hierarchy (or more influential) speak, and they would gladly interrupt the peers to get their point across (sometimes it's the same point someone with a weaker voice was making a second ago). Women have to be more assertive; they have two factors working against them - a perception that women aren't likely to be on the higher level of hierarchy, and their ingrained (usually by upbringing) passive approach in the conversations or arguments. But I bet they will be very surprised how little it takes (being assertive, consistent, but still polite) to change the things around in their environment. We don't have to change the world. We only have to change the things around us.

Have you ever been a man who has had to work with a woman? Have you ever enquired what it's like? Most women I find to be fine to work with, when they're like me: there to work, no politics etc. But there are those women who are just painful to work with. Rarely helps to rock the boat. Those women (and some men of course) do their fair share. Maybe you're just not appealing as a coworker to their preference. Is that a possibility? That you don't offer this possibility by default I find rather suggestive.

If a woman can tell the POTUS, "I'm not done speaking," so can the rest of us! Just like any child, they will eventually learn. My ex-husband and my son-in-law would never show this disrespect to any woman. They both had good parenting and strong mothers

The field of study I went into didn't have this problem. I am a history major and in most of my classes, everyone listened to each other. It may not entirely be because she is a woman, but part of it is. I seriously doubt that the male classmates interrupt each other like this. She should not have to shout or be rude to be heard. I have had to deal with this before as well. At one point, I was the only female delivery driver and when it was my turn to take a delivery, my coworkers would not come to the dish area and let me know they just took it themselves. They never did this to each other. It's hard for women to work in male dominated fields. It's even harder when men say that we are overreacting or lying.

I truly can't believe that there are still knuckledragging neanderthals like this still allowed to roam in society. I'm sure they're both a couple of frustrated mouth breathers, living in mom's basement and every woman they've come in contact with has not given them the time of day. Perhaps if they worked on their social skills instead of trying to insult normal, decent people they wouldn't be so bitter. Bored Panda should just shut them off. They offer nothing to any discussion.

Not that I dispute that men can do such a thing to women, but it almost seemed more like she'd accidentally muted it and they literally couldn't hear her. (I am a software developer and haven't run into that much in my career, but I did run into that kind of behavior in college. However, it just honestly seemed like they literally didn't even hear her.)

Can we please take sexism, misogyny, and racism (and Rokas) out of the conversation? This is just a girl trying to entertain her fans by showing them what happens in her class meets not just a video entirely about feminism which some idiots get offended about for some reason.

OK. So this woman records herself - on the phone on social media designed for teen girls while in a class - and wonders why the other students - who happen to be mostly men - don't take her seriously? Surely nothing to do with her personality. Surely.

You know if you go into looking more professional than just in you pjs hugging a blanky, you may get more respect. Unfortunately our lifestyles are relying more on video conferencing .. aka zoom or whatever, doesn't mean you can appear in these professional circumstances in your "at home attire". Some of these classes people paid for, they deserve that much.

It's not a men vs women thing. It's just things jerks do, and they will talk over and interrupt men just as they do it to women. But here we go again, there must be polarisation. Even if it's got nothing to do with sexism, it has to be made sexist.

That's because it often IS about sexism. Yes, sometimes it's just jerks in general but it is often an issue for women to be ignored by or interrupted by men.

Yes, some people are just jerks who like to interrupt. But it is a common experience for women to be talked over by men or to have their ideas ignored and then when a man makes the same suggestion, people pay more attention. Sexism is not a trivial first world problem.

Can we please take sexism, misogyny, and racism (and Rokas) out of the conversation? This is just a girl trying to entertain her fans by showing them what happens in her class meets not just a video entirely about feminism which some idiots get offended about for some reason.

OK. So this woman records herself - on the phone on social media designed for teen girls while in a class - and wonders why the other students - who happen to be mostly men - don't take her seriously? Surely nothing to do with her personality. Surely.

You know if you go into looking more professional than just in you pjs hugging a blanky, you may get more respect. Unfortunately our lifestyles are relying more on video conferencing .. aka zoom or whatever, doesn't mean you can appear in these professional circumstances in your "at home attire". Some of these classes people paid for, they deserve that much.

*sigh* Blah Blah Blah It's sooo hard being a woman. It probably is but that song is sung so often I'm tired of hearing it. HAY! Maybe that's why men don't listen!?

Wowie, it's almost like you should've listened the first time. Weird how that is. Get off your lazy bum and go make your own damn sandwich, we don't want to hear your crap either.

Does she record how often they interrupt each other? I can assume not.

you could hear that right? Did you hear them interrupt one another? If you're a man, you have NO IDEA how often this happens in business. Men talk over us constantly b/c they think they are more important.

It's not a men vs women thing. It's just things jerks do, and they will talk over and interrupt men just as they do it to women. But here we go again, there must be polarisation. Even if it's got nothing to do with sexism, it has to be made sexist.

That's because it often IS about sexism. Yes, sometimes it's just jerks in general but it is often an issue for women to be ignored by or interrupted by men.

First world problems. Some people are jerks and interrupt each other, but NOO, we should make this a sex issue. SMH

Yes, some people are just jerks who like to interrupt. But it is a common experience for women to be talked over by men or to have their ideas ignored and then when a man makes the same suggestion, people pay more attention. Sexism is not a trivial first world problem.
