In the future engineering will be just like most other workplaces: men and women working together mostly respectfully without incident. This will happen whether you care about it or not. Your side (the side that concludes that "it is prerferrable to not work with women") will lose. Your "logic" and your "rationality" will surrender to justice, fair play and equality.
Now, please stop fighting for your side so men who recognize the benefits of having women colleagues can enjoy those benefits sooner.
