How to deal with Manterrupting and Bropropriating

Very recently, I came across this article written by Jessica Bennett who is a contributing columnist at Time.com. She  covers the intersection of gender, sexuality, business and pop culture and also writes regularly for the New York Times. She contributes on special projects for Sheryl Sandberg’s women’s nonprofit, Lean In.

This is a great article and there is lot to learn, observe and practice through the info-graphic below for this Sunday’s Punch on my blog. To begin, know what these two words mean:

Manterrupting: Unnecessary interruption of a woman by a man.

Bropropriating: Taking a woman’s idea and taking credit for it.

  1. Why does this have to an “us” versus “them” thing? What do you call a woman who unnecessarily interrupts a man? Rude. It’s not about man or woman. It’s about appropriate behavior and respect for human beings in general.

  2. Would agree with Khurt on this one. I guess it would be happening but then its not necessarily that men aren’t interrupted by women too.

    Guess what’s more important is to maintain a particular sense of decorum, respect and behavior for both men and women towards each other at any place or time.

    1. I am personally all in when it comes to mutual respect and I too agree with Khurt and you.
      The intent of this article is to share what studies show. Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg talks a lot about similar researches and going by that they is a lot to do when it comes to gender equality at workplace.
