What stops you is you, you have to be thick skinned, you have to be able to control others and yourself and you have to build working relationships out of mutual trust and take the fact that yes there are in fact physical and mental differences between different people and that not all generalizations lack any spark of truth, but that you can get over many of those differences both real and of perception.
Given this you can (in any field) basically differentiate yourself on terms of quality, service, professionalism, final output... ability basically. The moment you start differentiating yourself on something other than this though you're a sham.
There is no good reason why any woman should not be able to differentiate herself through ability in this field, therefore this topic doesn't even need to exist as it's basically there to make a presence felt, a pretense as the answer to the question is self evident, so keep work and politics separate if you have any self respect (or at least any respect for your work).
