Everything is someones else's fault. I don't have confidence in myself. Fault of society. Sexism. I don't know how how to reject advances. Fault of men. Sexism. (BTW. How is giving anyone's a t-shirt with your name a sexual harassment? I could totally imagine a guy giving one to another guy and other than being rather lame gift, not be a big deal.) Obviously being a guy makes it so much different, and your road to becoming an engineer is very straightforward. You're always overconfident, never shy, noone ever is mean to you, noone ever bullies you, society melted you to be a perfect human being capable of anything you desire. It's amusing to see how woman raised in America (especially CA!), where everything is super sexist-conscious, and sometimes plain rigged in favor of girls (eg. how many boys vs girls gets drugged for ADHD, as they naturally can't stand still in the class?), still find a way to blame everything on sexism.

Whatever you say about her, the sexism she has faced in certain situations cannot be denied. Giving a t-shirt with your name on it to a dude friend of yours is not the same as giving a t-shirt with your name on it to the intern who has joined the company. The first comes off as a joke, the second is just downright creepy and is the side effect of poor social skills.

  Are you saying that you should take into account the... wait for it... sex of the person you're giving the gift to? Wouldn't that be, you know, sexist?

Giving a woman a t-shirt with your name on it after she shot you down for trying to corner her in a dark room is sexual harassment because it's a repeated sexual advance targeted towards someone who has made it clear that she is not interested. You can find the definition of sexual harassment on the government website that defines it.
