Sometimes you can't fix problems from within. What exactly are women supposed to do in this case? Just shut up? How will these problems ever be fixed?

Through education and one on one interaction. Accusing "leadership" of harassment puts them on the defensive and less likely to change their actions.

No one has ever been convinced of an argument by someone holding a megaphone.

Let's assume all of the friendly paths have been taken. What now? What are we going to do to educate these women, and what exactly are we educating them about? And at this point, should we not just give up on convincing the other party? How much abuse do women have to take before enough is enough?

The alleged harassers need to be educated, not women. And education isn't always friendly.

And "how much should you need to take..." is irrelevant. Life isn't fair, and sometimes you have to win arguments you think you shouldn't have to fight with otherwise reasonable people.
