There is a lot of negative treatment that can occur short of "cutting someone off."

I don't get your distinction because there isn't one, actually.

Is it a biology professor's role at BYU, for example, to discourage women from going into medicine, because he thinks it isn't "family-friendly"?

Is the role of a law advisor at BYU to ask a female student "So have you really thought out what it would mean to be a mom and a lawyer?"

This is called DISCOURAGEMENT.

Not to mention the tremendous peer pressure.
