Maybe not everything, but certainly a lot of places. There are two women I work with and they have had similar experiences to varying degrees in the past and it seems to be that the smaller the comapanies (as in our case) the less likely these instances happen. Preconceptions are harder to hold on to (unless there's an ultra-douche on the team, in which case it's a management problem as well) when you really get to know someone.

It doesn't help that it starts early on -- I'm hopeful the millennials will be raising their children differently -- and the infuriating and frustrating preconceptions that women endure now will fade to nothingness.
