How about inclusivity? How about safety?
3 out of 10 Dutch people display introverted behavior in large groups. In mixed company, men have 75% of the speaking time, women 25%. The chance that women will be interrupted is 50%. Men and women interrupt women 30% more than they interrupt men. And when women speak, they are usually not taken seriously. Men talk through women's speaking time much more often than vice versa.
30% of all Dutch people display introverted behavior in large groups. So, you don't hear or hardly hear them in meetings with 9+ participants. Conscious and unconscious group pressure for the sake of unanimity or desired political correctness undermines candid speaking.
