I haven't noticed a stigma with the several girls here at work. I have however noticed that if any one of them ever runs into a problem in their code or admining in general, they generally have half a dozen guys fighting to give them a hand ;-)
Which can very often be exactly the problem. Many girls in IT have a disadvantage because they have not had as much chance to solve problems independently. Helplessness is a habit that is very easy to acquire but can be very harmful in the long run.
