a-hole, but a debate moderator requires that. I lose it when women do this, letting a man talk over them, or ignore them (like Pence is doing right now).

I was taught to be polite. When younger I was taught you had to excuse a lot of bad male behavior, though luckily those rules are being changed. Any woman my age or thereabouts (50+ and no, I'm not 50 or close to it but starting there anyway) probably was taught the same so it takes work to overcome it. That's pretty sexist though, so I'm probably just personally biased. Still it is my pet peeve.
