What to do if men aren’t listening to the female facilitator?
1. If men are talking over the female facilitator in the group: male co-facilitator called them out, and made comments about how women are less likely to be listened to in society. This is the male entitlement attitude that has led you to be here in the first place.
2. If men aren’t making eye contact with her: Ensure your focus and attention is on your female co-worker while she is speaking.
3. The men respond to you when the question was asked by your female co-worker: Remind them that she asked the question, and not you. And if you could respond back to her. |
