this is also why women such as Carly Fiorina, the ex CEO and Chairwomen of HP, and the only woman ever to head up a Dow Jones Listed company are such popular speakers and role models to women entering the business and hopefully the engineering world. But yeah, its a stereotype that has carried over from thousands of years of women being oppressed.
