It is not necessarily your bias against women. It is equally possible that the woman is not self-confident enough to interrupt you more often.

Recently I had a zoom meeting with two women. One of them was a bit shy and quiet, and the other one constantly interrupted me and the other woman. There was nothing gender-specific in that encounter.

Similarly, in other meetings there are often some men who stay quiet (but obvs nobody cares about them).

Possibly we should let shy people talk more. Regardless of whether they are women, men, black, gay or whatever.

Or maybe not. Maybe you need to be self-confident and a bit bold to lead, because if you don't, you won't be a good leader anyways even if you were given time to speak regardless of your sex. I don't know.

Don't look for sexism in every encounter.

Sure, and there's plenty of men who don't speak up often enough. But knowing the societal trends helps me recognize problems and correct them.
