I agree. This is really one of those places where I think to myself, so what?
The only real problem I see is that a guy who goes into the field is going to be surrounded by other dudes, which is one of my biggest regrets with this profession.

Very few engineering schools let themselves get to such an extreme gender imbalance, but if you really were picking between an 80/20 split and a liberal arts school, I'm highly confident that you are much better off for having picked the liberal arts school.
Is it? I see evidence of quite a few groups that are all-female and want to stay that way.

More women will get into engineering, because of exposure, high salaries, and employer demand.
Likewise, Male engineers will actually meet women.
At Pitt, where I went for undergrad, the count for Computer Engineers/Electrical Engineers was something like 525. Only 38 were women.
On the other hand, if you were well adjusted, you had no problem meeting women outside the engineering building.
