It is so infuriating to hear your ideas being repeated by male colleagues during meetings! In fact once I actually gave up, started laughing and walked out of the room after my male colleague got credit for what I had literally been saying for weeks. Also lets cancel the word man-hours (yeah, I saw what you did there :)) and make it human-hours?! Great article and takeaway.
Which is its own kind of tragedy, isn't it? Why can't an intelligent woman with something valuable to say just say it without being labeled loud or fearsome?
This happens at home too..my brother gets all the credit for all the sane decisions I take for my parents..I have stopped being bothered about it now . My patriachial family will only see what they wish to see

If I'd been in that room, I'd have slow clapped you on your way out!
This is so true! Lucky for me I happen to be a loud person! So I usually get counted as the Kali Mata avatar all the time :)
