Yet another point in the sample space:

My experience here at Stony Brook (CS) has been quite positive in that
regard.  Male and female grad students (and faculty) alike are respected
if they know their stuff and interact well with others, not otherwise.
If a person says something sensible (or stupid) in a research meeting,
it's just as sensible (or stupid) if said by a female as by a male.
