Female IEEE members say they face significant discrimination in the workplace, including demeaning comments, inappropriate job-interview questions, and exclusion from networking events and important business meetings.
Those were among the most common negative experiences reported by more than 4,500 members—associate member grade and above—from around the world who answered a survey IEEE conducted in 2017. The results were released last year.
Almost half of those surveyed worked in academia, and about 30 percent were from private industry. The rest worked for governmental or nonprofit institutions, or were graduate students or self-employed. The majority of respondents (65 percent) lived outside the United States.

Oh, that sound of male ego. You travel halfway across the galaxy and
it's still the same song.

ROTFL! "Learned a thing"?
He had a nice night with that girl, and who, or why, would he ever be escorted out for such a thing?
I strongly suspect you live in a really, really strange place. Obviously, beyond it being troll land, it's a place where people are afraid of the opposite sex, and an amusing line is met with immense social stigma.
Troll away..

Well, I think she made a mistake even giving him so much as the time of day but it is her choice. Assuming, of course, you are not just talking shit on the internet.
Possible, I suppose. Is the sky blue in your world?
No, not afraid. But then neither do I go out of my way looking for ways to antagonize others.
I don't even have to bother asking the women in my life what they think of that line; I am certain that "amusement" would not be one of their reactions to such a boorish, tacky pickup line. I suspect you are the one who needs to get out more.
