Remember in <i>Calvin and Hobbes</i> when Calvin created the club Get Rid Of Slimy GirlS (GROSS)? It was kind of cute when Calvin did it, but he was supposed to be seven or so. A lot of the "gatekeepers" seem to be like that, only its not even remotely cute when a grown man acts like Calvin.Aaron Poundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11747596648152141394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304302673132222419.post-2989337073325347342013-07-05T12:59:50.141-04:002013-07-05T12:59:50.141-04:00Preach!

My thought on this though is not only are these guys dicks but they are sexualy fustrated dicks who think these fake geek girls are there to sexually tease them. In their minds real geek girls put out-fake geek girls aren't remotely interested in them and I thnk that's what's going on here.<br /><br />It's also a backhanded slap against all geek girls period. Traditionally pretty girls are fake and real geek girls are ugly, so it's really hatred of any woman who shows up. Too pretty, not interested in you=fake. Not pretty enough=you don't have the time of day for her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304302673132222419.post-87602346857590399322013-06-19T20:06:50.345-04:002013-06-19T20:06:50.345-04:00@Bob Milne: Thanks.

But the real credit for this post should go to Angela and Aubrey, since they made me think about the destructive nature of the "fake geek girl" meme, why it exists, and how to stamp it out. Girls standing up to these dicks is a start, but they need to be backed up by guys who aren't afraid to take a stand in favor of decency.Aaron Poundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11747596648152141394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304302673132222419.post-5781497070005319042013-06-19T15:34:25.009-04:002013-06-19T15:34:25.009-04:00Well said.

Anybody who really thinks another person would fake being a geek is either ridiculously self-deluded as to their own importance . . . or has somehow managed to bury their every memory of high school nerdom.<br /><br />Gatekeeper? Get over it! Seriously. Geek comes before gender every time, even in the dictionary. Really. Look it up. You've got something in common that you both value . . . a common ground on which to begin a conversation, friendship, or even a relationship. <br /><br />The only good thing about jerks is that they make everybody else look better by comparison. :)Bob/Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830145891314387373noreply@blogger.com
