I work in a male dominated industry, but I'm somehow oblivious to being treated differently - it does happen - subtle stuff like questions being addressed to my husband all the time instead of me, and people telling me how to do stuff when I'm testing out a new product.
I just tune it out (probably years of going through the same old stuff) and whenever we run into the same people a second time, it doesn't happen again.
It's annoying having to prove yourself, but not worth getting too worked up over.
