So, ideally, you should never adjust your character even if that results in a poor result.

That is true of virtually anyone though, not just women involved in STEM.

Everyone has the option to not adjust their character and live with the result even if it's poor. We all make our own decisions if we wish to play the game. That will never cease. It may get better / worse depending on the circumstances / field but it will never cease, just shift to another area.
