I trust you forgot the ":-)" Snoopy.  Not only does this sound amazingly
close to "if you don't want to be hassled, don't go where men might hassle
you", it also is extremely unhelpful advice to someone who is explaining
"why there are more qualified men than women in engineering", and who wishes
to rectify that.  I'd say a ":-)" was definitely in order here.
