Women report not “getting up the nerve” to ask questions, so researchers propose that “question time be unlimited” at scientific talks. Because, you know, time is a construct. If you won’t hang around waiting for others to speak, you must be a misogynist.https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0202743 …
That's a different argument tho. If you think anonymising questions and having them asked by someone else will weed out attention seekers, this needs addressing separately to the claim that people need coddling to speak publicly or, most annoyingly, that women do.

I’m lucky: I’ve had public speaking training, at various stages of my career. I think it’s an much overlooked part of teaching people to be better students.

Pushed our grad students (all female) to compete in a competition to present their research in a brief 5min format. They didn’t want to, but did a great job and made it to the national finals!
