I think that sometimes the issues are more in people's heads. So far as I have seen, when in a work situation, the primary concern if for the work to be done. If you do good quality work and work hard then people tend to see past any initial judgements on gender. Having worked in both male and female dominated industries, I think that is true from a manager's point of view anyway. I think that it becomes more of an issue when the work culture is for people to socialise together alot outside work.
I'm not convinced that gender dominances are more difficult than cutural/class ones.
