A few guys going through Hell doesn't justify blanket not hiring "women with liberal arts degrees."

This would be akin to suggesting that minorities shouldn't be hired, because a few people got in trouble when minority employees made suspect claims of racism in the workplace.

You don't fix the problem of a few dishonest people by harming HUGE groups of people, cutting off opportunities to them because of something that "might" happen that maybe hurts a "few" people. And let's be clear here, the "few" people being protected here are white men.

I get it, bad things happen to good people. If you can envision a world where a person is heinous enough to commit sexual assault or worse you can also envision a world where a person is heinous enough to lie about it happening to them to hurt another person.

But don't take the coward's way by preemptively harming innocent women and holding back what they could accomplish because a few bad apples hurt guys that didn't deserve it. The ugly truth behind that is that it's saying what matters more is protecting some men from something that might unfairly happen to them than it is to for sure limit all women's opportunities.

That's gross. Your solution harms more people than it helps. That's the beauty of privilege though - the "right" people got helped and the wrong people were quietly disadvantaged.
