Ronan's intervention also sparked a broader discussion about gender dynamics and male privilege. One viewer noted, "The silence after she said that speaks volumes," highlighting the discomfort and realization among the male panelists. Another user pointed out the microcosm of communication between men and women, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging women's experiences.
