520			_aWomen’s representation has significantly increased in recent decades. Women even dominate some decision-making bodies. How do these changes influence men’s attitudes toward democratic institutions? I analyze original survey data and a factorial survey experiment from the UK, and demonstrate that equal representation does not affect men’s expectations regarding policy output. However, if men are under-represented, most men across various sub-groups believe institutions are less likely to cater to their interests. Furthermore, men’s perceptions of fairness are higher under equal representation compared to the under-representation of either group. These findings underscore the importance of upholding gender equality in democratic institutions.-Reproduced https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/10659129251364219?_gl=1*aou0tl*_up*MQ..*_ga*MjMzNjk2NTEzLjE3NzY 3NTE3ODE.*_ga_60R758KFDG*czE3NzY3NTE3ODAkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzY3NTE4MDQkajM2JGwwJGgyNTQ0NDIwNjg.
