Nothing about you that vibes conventionally masculine will make a man feel less masculine unless you use it to make him seem less like a man because he can't match you in that regard.
That's my point! I can be in a conventionally male career, not wear make-up, dress conservatively, talk sports, etc. and yet men still react to me as a woman and I'm just fine with that.
However I also think it's naive to say that it is all about my behavior because some men automatically seem threatened by me at times just because I'm an engineer. It hasn't happened often but I have met men that are threatened by a woman who is smart or has a good career. In general those men, to me, seem to be much less "manly" anyway. They seem to need the superficial differences in order to feel like a man. For me self confidence is what makes men men and women women. Otherwise they come across as children (and not in a good way:))
Librarian, huh? Yeah, I know I am not necessarily a stereotypical engineer but then again I am not sure I am stereotypical anything!! can you sense any of the farm girl in me?
