Sexism is alive and well, sexism is the number one most triggering thing for me. I wish I knew how to handle it better ah but I don't. I'm actually usually afraid to even mention the topic for fear of bein labelled with the "f" word, yup feminist. While I wouldn't label my self as anything, except a person who wants equality for all people, as soon as you mention a sexism problem pertaining to females, eyes, ears close "f" goes up and communication stops. Ok I'm bitter about this topic for sure. I don't think that's only my experience tho.

I have the same experience at the dr's office all the time, my bf receives quite a different standard of care. It it because I'm a female or because I have bipolar. Well both I assume. Receiving low quality health care because you are a female is not a myth of any sort. I have read a few article published on this exact topic. One was even directing women kn how to talk to dr's to get better care. Hmm I'll have to find that article.
