I agree with you, UK. I usually have more important things to think about than whether or not someone likes or dislikes me. I'm black but my wife, who is white, is always hypersensitive to how other white people react to me. We spend a lot of time debating whether people are being covertly racist towards me and I'm the one defending the people. She and I have made a game of it actually.
I'm almost 16 years older than she is so I attribute her sensitivity and my insensitivity to our ages.
To your point about most engineers being men, though, she would say, "The reason that they are mostly men is because of people thinking that they are mostly men."
