I can't see where you'd get a positive response in the majority of cases. They're concerned about your ability to job and as one whose interviewed hundreds, asking a question such as yours will likely make them think, "troublemaker". I realize that's not an accurate portrayal, but unless you're a superstar in what they're hiring for, you would likely be seen as someone who might "stir the pot".

Let me be clear. I'm not saying that a company should tolerate sexism ineven a little bit. But an interview is really not the place to ask that kind of question. You'd be better off to look on websites like Glassdoor or try to find someone who used to work there, possibly through LinkedIn.

Let me elaborate on my reasons why it would be bad. When I'm hiring, I want someone who will just do their job and not make waves. You have the strong potential to be a wavemaker. As such, if someone was equally qualified, I'd choose them over someone who asked that question. It's a lower risk.
