And my answer depends. I think that its hard to be an effective engineering manager without first working hard at being an engineer and learning all about it. I think a prerequisite for that is someone who is naturally passionate about engineering. But then on top of that interpersonal skills are important. So you could say that on average men and women both have their respective advantageous biases for engineering management, but the pool from which they're drawn skews heavily male because not too many women go into engineering in the first place.
