This is the first of two episodes that discuss sexist comments and responses with Dr. Susan Madsen, Founding Director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project; Robbyn Scribner, lead researcher on this report series; and Heather Sundahl, one of the coders of this report series. It does not focus on what they have heard through the years personally, but instead is a discussion of an in-depth research study on sexist comments heard by Utah women. During May–June of 2020, an online survey instrument was administered to a sample of Utah women representing diverse settings, backgrounds, and situations (e.g., age, marital status, education, race/ethnicity, parenthood status, employment status, faith tradition, and county/region). Overall, 1,115 respondents started the survey, and 839 Utah women participated enough to provide usable data.
