On the other hand, I&#x27;ve worked with an astonishing number of men who live in a state of rather tortured denial of the outsize challenges women face in the workplace.  I&#x27;ve even known a couple of women who deny it.  It&#x27;s even more stupefying than those who insist that racism is a solved problem in America.<p>I&#x27;m not sure where it comes from.  Personal experience, background must be important factors.  But it strikes me as a fairly activist, difficult position to take.  I think some of these folks think they are just fitting in by voicing denial and anger about patently obvious forms of sexism.  A lot of it comes from political group identification, too.
