Well, my #1 daughter yesterday (today in the USA where she is) passed her PPL exam, so needless to say I'm pretty proud. As far as I know, and we discuss these things, so I think I would, she's never encountered any bias in the aviation community, either there or in Australia. However, it was quite different in her career as a software engineer when she started early this century. Fortunately, she is a strong enough person to stand up for herself, and it seems things have improved quite a bit since then.
