Do female lawyers face discrimination in the workplace/school?

According to the Princeton Review, as well as several other reputable sources, women can be treated poorly by their male clmates in law school. In fact, the PR includes a list of "women-friendly" universities because this ism is so widespread. Also, I have read that often women often are ped over for good cases/promotions and are hared by their male coworkers once they are in the workplace. Finally, I have read that female lawyers have difficulty finding dates, mainly with other graduate/career-oriented men. I was hoping to get the perspective of actual female lawyers on these issues, as opposed to magazine articles. Can anyone verify or invalidate these rumors? Thanks in advance!
