Are male nurses treated differently than female nurses?

After watching the movie "Meet the Parents," many people believed that men in nursing was a joke. In the hospital setting, however, I have not noticed any difference in the way the patients or other healthcare professionals treat male nurses. Do you think that male nurses are treated differently than female nurses in the clinical setting? (by patients, doctors, patient's families, etc...?)
