So I had not really intended to talk about this since the woman in question didn't have a problem.
My reason for speaking up was more that if you're making a space claiming to respect women, then respect them, not trash talk their opinions even after she disagreed first time.

The thing with this not a democracy, my space, my rules thing is that this is exactly what women go through (Which was being discussed just prior). Spaces they live in are usually controlled by men, their opinions are often trashed and their rights can be conditional to approval.
My point was that if he invited her to speak in his space, he owed her the respect of not trashing her opinions.
That said, he was fine after a topic change AND the woman in question did not mind, so it is not my place to object further beyond the space when I was speaking.

Just realized that @_amitbehere was not tagged anywhere in this conversation. This is also not about speaking behind his back. Nor is it limited to him or that particular speaker. It is a prevalent attitude.
More about necessary social discussions and insight. Than one incident.
