I think that some men don't understand what sexism is and when they hear a woman speak about it they think that she's just whining and making shit up which the clueless man doesn't understand is a sexist reaction on his part. It's the men who don't understand that sexism is real who are the most sexist. Those men have the sense that men are naturally superior to women and that's the way god or nature intended it. I don't know if they have any concept of sexism.

As far as fixing things goes, I'm not sure. Maybe it goes to the heart of what men perceive as their role as protector. I know I still have that primitive feeling when, say, I see my brother-in-law and sister arguing. Whether than let her sort it out with him I'd like to knock his block off. :) Maybe the answer to your question lies somewhere in that, but I don't really know.
