As an audience member, I decide to go to a talk based on the speaker. If the audience, culprits are mostly men, want to share their stream of consciousness, derail the talk, I'm not interested. Both the speaker and the host have a duty to varying degrees to stop this happening.

Given I see the worst derailments happen to women speakers (who DO try to stop it) and the culprits are often men, I have to say I'm disappointed with everybody involved except the speaker.

Replying to @o_guest
My owner once saw two men gang up on a woman speaker so badly that she never got past slide 2. My owner was very junior at the time, so felt powerless to stop it. This is why I am often filled with vodka instead of tea.
