There is neither. Performance is all that matters. If you perform at the highest level, your co-workers will not stand a chance.

Advantages:
No one forgets your name when you are the only woman
Disadvantages:
People might have an attitude or think you are being treated differently.
If you are the FIRST of the opposite sex to get hired, you may be treated badly because you have changed the dynamic of the work place
You may have to endure jokes in poor taste
You either have men who don't understand that sexual harassment isn't OK and you work in a hostile environment OR you have men who are so afriad of being charged with sexual harassment that they won't even talk to you!

You have to prove to them that you have as much potential as they have and if you know how to use your potential you pretty much click and point and the job is done.
