Ehn, I disagree. I've worked with a number of females who have mentored me, both as colleagues and in roles senior to mine, and they've given me excellent guidance. I've never been under the impression that they were put in their positions to fulfill quotas.

Filling quotas and "token females" seems like a slightly different topic than the title.

My experience is similar to /u/jet199's:

When older men deal with younger men it's tough love all the way.

Male professors also seem to give females more favorable grades--oops, you can't say that.
