Wow. Did you really just argue that we shouldn't hire women because, when the men on the team harass them, they might sue?

How about this for a crazy idea: Let's build a culture where men don't think it's ok to sexually harass women, at work or anywhere else!

Since human nature is so malleable, while we're at it, let's build a culture where men don't care about women's looks, women don't care about men's social status, parents love other people's children more than their own kids, and wearing stripes with plaid is the height of fashion. Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.

Now you're arguing that culture is hard to change, so we shouldn't do it, even if the existing culture is morally horrible?

(Oh, and you're using a straw man argument to do it.)

No, you're the one who's making that argument, if you don't believe that it's possible to condition men into not caring about women's looks and all the rest of it. If those things are possible, no problem. But if those things are not possible...

Like I said, you're making a straw man argument. You're saying that getting men to "not care about women's looks" is the same as getting men to stop sexually harassing women. That's simply not true.

And it is definitely possible to change our culture so that sexual harassment is not ok.
