Yeah this actually happens to me a lot, but not just with men, and mostly other women, so I think it’s more of a personality/softer delivery issue than gender issue
Just that I tend to be more soft spoken/not as confident as some of my peers so when I suggest an idea it comes across not as strongly just specifically due to the delivery and not the idea itself.
Sometimes I have had to really be overconfident in something I’m saying just to get the point across. Not brushed off, but now I get the label of coming off brashly. Can be a hard line to walk. Almost like you have to pick. Not every place is like that though. Some really are good about giving everyone credit for both ideas big and small.

100%, I feel its either oh she's too confident or she's too shy, not really much of an in between. Absolutely, totally depends where you work, and having employees that will back you up is also amazing, but sadly quite rare to find!

This happens to my sister at our family gatherings all the time. I can see the frustration on her face and kind of feel bad, but we don’t have a super good relationship so I don’t do much. Kind of just try to ask her to repeat herself if she was talked over.

It's hard especially seeing it happen to someone else, not knowing if they want you to speak up for them or not. Some people are a bit put off if you try and 'protect' them! Others can be really appreciative of it.
