Mixed Doubles - excessive Feedback or Talking or yelling Shots during rallies

We play Badminton at a local club mostly in a Mixed Doubles set-up where everyone is a hobby player. Usually, the group is between 5 to 20 players taking turns to play for 2 hours. However, there are always few players who make female (Partner) players uncomfortable by constantly yelling out the shots mid rally to „kill it“ or after they play any shot to hit harder or just send every shot back before the game has even started. it clearly visible that the female Player gets annoyed (when they infact play better than the male Partner) or less confident (when they are simply struggling). However, the XD Partner doesnt seem to have the sensibility to recognise how unconstructive such behaviour is. Eventually, the female Player just end up feeling Bad but not expressing anything or just Drops out from playing altogether.

Any advice for dealing with such insensitive players as someone who organises XD Games (third person) or something the female player can directly address such situation in a constructive manner. The goal is not to insult anyone or ban anyone from playing but to address or recognise that as hobby players it is important to understand that even within each intermediate or advanced level, skill sets might vary vastly, therefore one should be willing to have some patience and it is not a BWF tournament that they are partipating in.
