I've spoken to people like this moderator and they just ramble over any topic they get excited about.

What specifically makes you think he rambled because she was a woman?

Sure, me too, and they're generally consistent in that between genders. This guy isn't. And people like him are very common too.

By watching the entire video and comparing him to his conduct with the other panelists interviewed. She also wasn't the only non-native speaker, so it's not that either.

Because he did. He rambled over the only woman.

That he rambled over the only woman does not mean that he rambled over her because she is a woman.

Respectfully, I disagree. I am also not convinced that his motivations really matter, in the end he demonstrated that it's okay to let the men speak but not the one woman. In my mind, this is what really matters.
