This is an infographic we created to explain the concept of Gender Partnership in a visual and easy to understand way.

Our study of over 2,100 men in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom reveals that men who experience high levels of manager openness—when their manager shows interest in and acts upon employee ideas, views, and suggestions—are almost twice as likely to say they would directly interrupt a sexist comment at work as compared to men who report low levels of manager openness.

. Our data show that more than one-quarter of men in our survey (28%) said they would likely do nothing if they heard a colleague make a sexist remark at work—and that masculine anxiety is a major factor in men’s reluctance to interrupt sexism. According to our survey, men who experience high levels of masculine anxiety are five times more likely to do nothing than men who experience less masculine anxiety.

As sexism against women in the workplace persists globally, many men want to be part of the solution. They have several advantages: Men hold most positions of power in organizations; they face fewer costs than women do when challenging other men for being sexist; and their responses to sexist comments are more likely to be considered than if they came from a woman.
