[quote=Blondie] I think it's pretty much all about self-image, jealousy and sexual frustration.It's pretty much agreed upon that this nerd hate comes primarily (if not entirely) from men. I'll just be blunt. I assume a guy who sees a "fake geek girl" and lashes out over it is only because he finds the whole situation unfair. I figure he's thinking "you like comics and games? I'm OBSESSED with comics and games. You should be impressed. Why is it that you like the THINGS I like but not ME specifically?" [/quote] Obviously its majority from men when its a field thats male dominated where females is something new. But as others said culture in general has a ton of things men get discriminated in. Also when it comes to sexism is geek culture I don't think its anger for not being liked. But rather a natural defense mechanism having probably been bullied, teased and mocked by girls before. Or used to be hurt/ignored in favor of the guy who was probably dropped on the head as a baby and is ab obvious total and abusive asshole but happens to be good at throwing a football. [quote=Turtlicious] I don't?If you want to play DnD with me make a sheet, who cares why you want to do it.e: I'm not reading all of those paragraphs, because I have a job and a girlfriend Jesus people, it's like no-one taught you about brevity. [/quote] We get it. You have a Girlfriend, congrats. But that doesn't mean you can't be passionate about a topic, like to talk a lot about it or be willing to read on it. Even when I had GF I commonly got in talks like this. So being both is possible.
