>But unexpected, says Stratmann, was that women in leadership positions reported experiencing sexist behaviour at a higher rate than others If making such repo

  That's not what the study said. Successful women reported more discrimination to the study authors. There's no assertion that they made accusations against specific men, and absolutely no evidence that this "helps career advancement". Care to cite your source on that? In practice virtually every such accusation I've seen reported ends up with the woman leaving the employer, not the reverse. The counter hypothesis is that women who don't want to deal with the sexist bullshit just give up on careers like this. This has the notable advantage of explaining the gender balance and the inversion of accusation rates.

    To clarify: I do not mean that making reports per se is the putative mechanism for this advancement. Perhaps there is some more fundamental quality that causes both. Also, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and that creates an incentive, like it or not. And don't disregard the first word, "if"!
