MODERATORS
Women speaking up and demanding to be heard.
In particular, women are more likely to be viewed as "bitchy", "bossy", etc for doing the exact same thing that a man could do without being considered as such.
So it's not just women speaking up, but also that there's a gender imbalance in how that speaking up can be viewed.
That can go either direction though. Sometimes the women are being unfairly judged for reasonable behaviour a man wouldn't be challenged for. Sometimes the women are being judged for unreasonable behaviour that a man would be unfairly unchallenged for.
