Just to be clear, this isn't sexism. I think this has happened in most group oriented situations I've seen. I've kind of learned not to trust a person until I've worked with them a while. I take my hat off to anyone that can go with college without becoming a bit this way. I'm not saying the rest of your points aren't valid, but I just don't want you to think that the sole reason you was treated this way was because you was a girl. At my college, you'd probably be treated this way until you've proven that you know what your doing. After that, they are more likely to let you do more(if not most) of the work without issue.
