The team described may exhibit an extreme behavior. But, I think it's fair to say that women experience "death by a thousand cuts" in male-dominated fields, not just Tech. I also think that young men learn the lesson of disregarding women early. I started coaching co-ed youth basketball recently. At ages 10-12, boys are already disregarding their female teammates as potential contributors. The boys aren't overtly hostile. They just don't even think about passing to the girls. They don't trust the girls to play good defense, so the boys try to cover too much floor, ironically allowing more points to be scored against us. I'm steadily working with them on trust and inclusiveness. But, it amazes me that they're so young and already need to unlearn negative behaviors.
