Question Issues for Women in Aikido

Upon viewing the post regarding instructors dating students I am prompted to ask a more general question regarding issues that women face in the male dominated (and some say male organized) study of Aikido.

I am particularly interested in issues that would be specifically related to gender bias. Instructors dating students fits the category as would male students refusing to study under or work with female students, and other explicit or implict biases.

Ultimately I wonder how much of an influence these biases operate to keep the number of women at various dojos as a minority.

Many thanks for ANY input!
