Not unexpectedly, the movement has led tobacklash, as some accusations inevitably have been inadequately fact-checked, exaggerated, ormisunderstood. As both men and women seek to adjust to the post #MeToo workplace, men haveoften withdrawn in confusion as to what remains appropriate and what might be construed asinappropriate behavior in the workplace. Many avoid conversations on the topic for fear ofnegative consequences. Yet, silence and withdrawal are the enemies of productive forward-looking change

Introduction Computer science has been identified as one of the STEM fields most in demand. Computerscience has been identified as a powerful educational tool for critical thinking, problem solving,and creativity [1]. There are studies exploring why participation of female students in the field ofcomputer science in the United States is so low [1],[2]. In 2017, women in the
