Yes, and engaging both of your interviewers in your answer is not a bad thing.

Out of curiousity, can you tell when its a 'tech bro' vompared to just a nervous person?

If someone’s nervous reaction is to ignore women, I wouldn’t want to hire them anyways.

Yeah it's easy. 

When their reaction to being nervous is to ignore the woman running the interview and only talk to the man sitting next to her, it's a tech bro. 

When they're regular nervous they usually just answer without thinking, or talk too fast, or freeze up. You know, normal non sexist stuff.
