I have two sisters - one is an engineer and the other holds a degree in romance philology. From their accounts I can tell, that the sexism is real regardless of the type of industry, but its source is usually this one person in the team who either: a) Is the owner of the company and also a pig. b) Disregards any warnings directed to him which are toothless anyway, because the company cannot afford to fire him(Über much?).
