Every work environment can be hostile for women, and that is definitely a topic that needs addressed, and I certainly hope that it is being addressed much more seriously than it has been in the past.
There is potential for anything everywhere, but some places have greater potential than others. Male-dominated occupations tend to be rife with sexual harassment and discrimination against women.
