Thinking back, we had a few Middle Eastern guys who probably thought that way.

The farm boy crew (of which I was a founding member) made it quite clear we protect our own, and have access to pork.

But after freshmen year they all were gone to other programs. Our bigger issue was some of the girls who thought that by smiling we would do their work for them.

Shame on them! As a woman who was a STEM major and has a degree in a STEM field, I didn't need anyone else to do my work for me. I was usually a straight-A student who carried her own weight on the team lab assignments.

Back to the OP - I have worked in the STEM area for 25 ± years and haven't experienced any "sexual harassment" in the workplace. Then again, I tend not to get offended, have a sense of humor and don't tend to make a federal case out of stupid behavior. Choosing to not play the victim, I try to solve matters on my own and if that doesn't work, I will consult others for help.
