I agree with #1. #2 depends on the scope of "active work" you have in mind. I think a very natural response is to say "Of course we should work actively, but we shouldn't violate any of our other important moral principles in doing that work."
It's a natural move, but it opens the door to saying that all we can do is educate people and police for discrimination, since reverse discrimination is unfair.
Regardless, I was very interested by this debate on gender differences in academia... you might be as well.
