The use of "female" as a noun when referring to human beings is in itself a red flag for me. You're not being whiny. Default startup culture is not particularly welcoming toward women, and it seems to be worse in some places than others - particularly where founders in their 20s who've never held a job outside a startup predominate. The behavior you describe is unprofessional and suggests some of these interviewers may be skirting the lines of legality (in the US at least). May I ask what location you're looking for work in and how you're finding openings? It seems to me that typical culture varies from city to city.
