Grad student blogging/ academic life (Amber, Ania)

We looked at two graduate student blogs and one post-doc blog that discuss the mentor-mentee relationship and the disjoint between what is expected of both parties and what ends up being supported.
The blogger at ilovescience points out that what students may be encouraged to do theoretically (attending training seminars, TA training, etc) may not be what is supported in reality.
Wecansleeplater does a CBA on the mentor-mentee relationship. One point that stuck out to me was that from a purely CBA standpoint, the PI should only be invested in what happens to the student while they are currently a member of the lab. This may be why there is such a precipitous drop off of women in science after graduate school. There is little support or information available for women who wish to pursue a career and develop of a family.
Far more radical, YoungFemaleScientist, a post-doctoral researcher, rails against the sexism she perceives in the mentor-mentee relationship and follows up the comments here. I feel that there may be some truth to what she says, however, I'm not sure how much of what she is writing is colored more by poor mentor-mentee relationships that have nothing to do with gender.
Female Science Professor does dole out "street smarts" in her post on academic etiquette to both males and females who read her blog. These unwritten rules, most of which are common sense, are crucial. What would you add?
