The impact of sexism on health has been widely demonstrated. However, literature affirms sexual myths, as sexual harassment myths, avoid some behaviours being perceived as sexist. This result has been found frequently in studies of simulated situations with students. This research examines the effect of endorsement of sexual myths and of benevolent experienced sexism on women's health. A first study evaluated the psychometric properties of Spanish' version of benevolent experienced sexism (EBX-SP). In a second study, a hierarchical multiple regression tested the effect of the two variables on health. Results indicated that benevolent experienced sexism, has more effect in the prediction of health than endorsement of sexual myths. Women who experienced sexual harassment declared fewer myths than those who have not. The women who have suffered sexual harassment also had poorer health and reported more benevolent sexist experiences. Our results suggest that myths do not affect the perception of the benevolent sexist experiences that women undergo, which has an impact on health
