What difference can one un-sexist man make? My colleagues and I had a hunch that the actions of individual male allies–even through simple acts such as highlighting the strengths of female colleagues or checking in on their well-being–might serve as a counterweight to the negative effects of everyday sexism. But not only that, we decided to study how that might impact men as well.
