If it makes you feel any better, if I see a woman working in a bike shop I try to make my purchase from her.

So I'm on a service call at a customer's house (electric company). The drunk barfly woman sez "I thought they were going to send a ****in' man! Why in the hell did they send you?) I shrugged my shoulders, did what I had to do, and she apologized afterwards. She said she was just surprised.

The good part about being in a mostly male profession is no line for restroom at seminars, meetings, etc.
