As I see it there are multiple aspects to this... I have at times felt disillusioned, but it is as a result of an apparent lack of promotion or during a spate of redundancies. This is something that is effecting me not because I am a women though, but because I am member of a particular workforce!
The only time I have ever felt even slightly alienated, was when I attended a software conference and was part of an audience of predominately male 'geeks', who couldn't even look me in the eye let alone talk to me! That was a very strange experience, but it didn't make me want to leave my industry.
