Na, engineers are male/female. Not men and female.
I have never heard anyone called a man engineer or a woman engineer…it is always male/female engineer…on the rare occasion that any designation is required.
When you are looking for things to be offended about, you will find them…it is not good for your mental health.
The real complaint is people who refer to women as “females” which makes them sound like ferengi. Saying a “female engineer” is just correct grammar. Some folks have instead, lacking a capacity for nuance (and language) taken this to mean that there is an issue with the word “female” in general.
We really need a c/menandfemale here on lemmy
Female as an adjective ✅
Female as a noun ❌

My favorite cable is an aux extension I use every day.
