Are female directors at an disadvantage to male directors in Hollywood?

It would appear that females are at disadvantage in Hollywood. According to MSNBC, of the 13,400 directors in the Directors Guild of America, 7% are female. Also, a woman has never won the Academy Award for best director.
One reason for this may be that film professors tend to be primarily male:
"I remember one student who made a beautiful film," says Choy. It was a short about a woman eating lunch alone in a park and being harassed by a man. "The camera showed he was playing with his dick. The male directing teacher went nuts and said it was pornography. If it was vice versa and you saw a woman lying on a bed, having a sexual arousal, that's no longer pornography," she says.
Another claim is that it almost impossible to break into the "boys club" to get money to make a film when you are a female director.
