"Mr. Bonderman’s joke falls into the 'not funny because it’s not true' category. In the main, women don’t talk more than men, as several studies have shown. They are, however, interrupted more."

There seems to be a new form of journalistic proof: one advances a claim--e.g., women don't talk more than men--and then offers as support the further claim "as several studies have shown".  I wonder whether Ms Southy could direct us to one of these studies.

Peer-reviewed studies reported in reputable scientific journals are one thing; those  reported in social science journals are another. Studies concerning the deep question of whether women talk more or less than men are apt to be reported in the latter. One is never sure concerning such articles whether they are intended seriously or are hoaxes.
