I want to respond to this but I'm having a hard time thinking of a response that isn't profane. I don't mean to aim my ire at you, the messenger, of course.
But seriously, is it really that bad? I mean when I did my degree ('74-'77 Exeter Uni., Physics) out of about forty of us only three got firsts and one was a woman, she went on to do a Ph. D. I'm pretty sure no one said any such thing to her.
Does it depend on which country you are in? I know of plenty of women in high technical positions in industry in Norway and I can't imagine that they suffer from this, at least not to that degree. I also can't imagine them suffering in silence.
