I voted "not a man and yes" BUT I have to say the factor of race plays a huge role here. My closest/only(?) male colleagues are not white and I don't struggle there at all. They give me a genuine chance to speak and I notice... No wonder we became friends.

To be clear though, in other settings it's a bit exasperating that I can't really say anything and when I care enough to interrupt so I can say something I'm sometimes interrupted before I can make my point.

For example, I used to share an office with bigger groups than now and in those contexts it becomes really obvious. Like who gets to talk a lot and who gets told to stop talking because it's "time to work", and on and on.

Another hilarious thing that has happened to me at conferences I got asked more than once after the talk one-on-one what I think some other men not in the audience would have thought of the point of my talk and I try to just give my perspective...

and the guy asking doesn't like that I am giving my opinion instead of modeling the man in the field. But modeling a person seems silly and pointless. Ask them what they thought of my talk instead of what I think they would have thought? This has happened to me twice at least.

I think in the future I might just explicitly say that I do not want to start modeling living people when email exists and/or when they are literally at the same conference.
