I know this is a taboo/politically incorrect subject, but the recent spate of sexual harassment claims by seemingly defenseless/immature women raises a legitimate question as to whether they should be treated as responsible adults (e.g., men) in our society or as a protected class of victims who have no control over their circumstances or actions. This is further underscored by continuous discussions and programs regarding (American) girls' alleged lack of self esteem. Why should we be concerned over the fact that women as less likely than men to select engineering courses in college? Are their decisions to be respected or or should they be subject to external approval?
