If you're a white male in the Bay Area you're discriminated against as well. I can't tell you how careful you have to be trying to get work done with many of the people there. I've have/had to sit through at least 20 different talks/seminars a year on how women are discriminated against and it's the white males fault. Last year, I worked with a team of 3 women, and myself (the only male). I was put in charge (by my women director), to help train the team on web development. OH BOY that was a big TODO, regardless of the fact I have years more experience and have managed teams before... Eventually, I just quit the team because one of the women was so insufferable and would basically refuse to do any work until a women was put in charge. Point is, you're right, there are different flavors to each group. All of them are wrong though. They all discriminate just to different extremes. That's part of the reason I really enjoyed the Chicago Suburbs, they have a decent mix of both so both extreme groups become more moderate.
