I don't reckon I carry more guilt than a female in a comparable setting and of a comparable age and up-bringing. Women too can become unwilling constituents of the Western male logos, and while I do not claim to be entirely blame-less, I certainly do not find that I should carry any blame on account of my mere gender.
I think the age difference is rather crucial; my school had mainly female teachers (as is common in most European countries, I believe?), and they had all been educated in the 70s and 80s, so I do believe that feminism was a rather strong undercurrent in the environment I grew up in . (Am not even going to go into the family...)
