Definitely. I never participated in any MTG tourneys because just the harassment I faced in the shops and from local players was enough. It's much better today, though. But you still have the problem that when girls and women avoid playing with boys and men (often for good reason) you will always have less growth in that specific group.
True, the only women I ever saw at those events were there with their boyfriends, and even then, not enthusiastic about it. Might be why Magic's dying now, there's a whole half of the population they forgot about.
