Last night, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton met for their first presidential debate. The big story was that Trump repeatedly interrupted and talked over Clinton.
It is sad commentary on the entire debate if the candidates interrupting one another is the “big story”.
Feminists immediately seized the opportunity to decry Trump as sexist and his behavior as misogynist:
To the men amazed Clinton hasn’t snapped: Every woman you know has learned to do this. This is our life in this society. #debatenight

How many women can relate to being interrupted & talked over right now?#PresidentialDebate

So many women watching are cringing, thinking back to the times men have interrupted, screamed over, & belittled them. #debatenight

Through interruptions, lies, and dog-whistle sexism…
