Ok, so this is another Males perspective, but hopefully gives some kind of extra insight.

Only a few years ago I did a Semester at University for a Bachelor of Aviation. It was a group of about 70 and of them there were 12 Women. What we found was that a few of them had very biased ideas when they came in of being discriminated against straight away, they kept organising special events that were for the Women only, just things like going to movies or attending seminars etc... What they ended up doing was creating a self-fulfilling prophecy where they treated the Males of the group rather poorly and as such the Males ignored those few which made the chips on their shoulders even bigger. The ones who didn't give a hoot about being Female and felt it didn't hinder them at all got along just fine with us and were treated no differently and were no better or worse than the others in our group.
