You won’t get very far in your engineering career if you think this way. Are you going to argue women don’t use computers next?

Using computers and wanting to understand computers are completely different interests.

How about this. Doctors are more interested in people. Engineers are more interested in machines.

Of course, as one becomes a manager, they deal with people more. But am just stating the initial interest that gets one into the field.
