I find that interesting, considering I currently study computer science at Berkeley (undergrad).

Not sure if i ever got that sense. I've had some really good female project partners and/or study mates. But I can see how some guys might feel emasculated from being helped by a girl.

Perhaps it was just the Math department. I shouldn't have said "the sciences", since the Math department was the only place I had any experience with-but sexism was definitely prevalent there. It's worth noting that it was more common at higher levels...didn't seem to exist much at intro courses, but it was significant at gradudate level courses.
