There are two types of sexism at play here:
One is blatant - i.e. sexual harassment, prejudice, and discrimination.
The second is latent - i.e. the "typical experience of every student," as you put it, impacts people differently depending on a number of things including their gender. By not taking those individual differences into consideration, the culture of STEM forces women to work harder to fit in and balance their gender-specific circumstances.
