> i am kind of surprised that most male *engineers* don't have a problem with female engineers.
That's probably because people who put gender above actual skills and knowledge are the ones who will never be able to become a good engineer in the first place. So I would think of it as "smart people are not into all these stereotypes about how women are of inferior race, and most engineers are smart (they wouldn't be engineers otherwise!)"
