Any kind of interruption seems rude AF, and that’s without even considering the sexism and insinuation that she’s incompetent.

What’s the norm for the audience in situations like this? Raising your hand? Holding any questions/comments until the end?

Even then you don't go "you don't understand x!". You make an actual point about something in the presentation, usually with enough self-doubt to state it as a question.

If the whole presentation is trash in your opinion, just leave.

You start by asking questions. If you're wrong you'll find out, if you're right you'll expose something.

Depends on the size of the meeting and the length of the meeting.

For an hour-long lecture/seminar with less than 20 people, probably raising your question directly is fine.

For a 25 mins talk at a conference with 200 people, you will probably need to save your question to the end.

But it is always safer to ask beforehand.

Some people develop extreme skills while never learning how to interact with others.
