Quotation from the paper:[1]

- MyHypatia 6y agoThat's interesting thanks for sharing. I guess that begs the question: even if there are some documented negative effects, does it outweigh the benefit of young boys experiencing positive role models in the classroom? Measuring the benefit of role models is really hard to quantify, but role models definitely influence people.
