I'm a bit late to the discussion but wanted to comment here as you raised some great points.
My wife has had experiences such as the answers she gave not being accepted but if her male boss told the questioner the same answer it was accepted without any remark. Quite often she only knew about it because she and her boss compared, which helped illustrate a way sexism can be hidden as well.
She was doing desktop and server administration in a physical plant of a large public university and pornography was rampant there. That, along with what you state, has made me appreciate a policy of my current employer (another large, public university) where that's one of the easy get-fired offenses.
