I'm pretty sure it's more common on Atlantis. We have seen a few more women (http://www.gateworld.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=24&pos=396) working at the SGC (that Hathor ep rounded them up specifically), but we never learned if any of them were on Gate teams, or just SF's.
I don't think the SGA situation can be traced to S1. Cadman and Teldy and co are all from later seasons. My interpretation was that only male marines went on the first wave, since they were all picked by hard ass Sumner (if they did send women if was probably to even out the genders in case they needed to breed). I actually went and looked at the screencaps and could discern no female soldiers.
I'd say aside from Sam, who was their resident stargate expert and thus irreplaceable, the SGC had no women on teams. Hailey was being groomed to be the next golden girl and I think they were both so far above the curve, that ignoring them was impossible... Actually I checked and there was actually another girl recruit (http://www.gateworld.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=110&pos=45) being prepped along with Hailey in prodigy.
