I worked in manufacturing before getting into software development and always had one or two female coworkers (sometimes even as my superior) and never experienced sexism among my coworkers. My girlfriend drives semi for a living and in the first 3 years of driving truck never experienced it either until recently when a store owner at a place she deliveTA to said something along the lines of "they let women drive trucks blah blah". I was completely floored that someone could think and say such things. It was the type of situation like you described where you wouldn't think that a business owner could say such things but it happens and it's terrible that it does.
