I also hate to be the type that's easily offended, but I take significant issue with your claims of how a woman would disrupt a dynamic in a group of males.

That's the EXACT situation I faced in my current job as a software developer. One of my fellow developers admitted that they were apprehensive when they heard a woman was joining the team, because they were afraid they would have to behave differently. There hadn't been a single female software developer in the company until I arrived, and it's very much a 'boy's club'. Had they decided that my sex would disturb their 'dynamic' and were legally allowed to reject me because of it, I wouldn't have the job I've had for the last 2 years.
