Duck...not one of those men is a sexist jerk. They're all awesome.<br /><br />If someone grows up feeling ostracized for their interests, it must be easy to fall into a "Members Only" attitude. Hopefully the fanboys who do take that stance will grow out of it once they realize that female geeks aren't threatening; we're all here for the same reason. But in the meantime, let's not forget to praise the awesome men! :-)Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-52556396922480787122013-08-05T13:48:35.857-04:002013-08-05T13:48:35.857-04:00I don't have much to say, except great article...I don't have much to say, except great article!

Thankfully we have our LOVELY LOVELY LOVELY admins (Josie and Billie) to keep everyone polite and friendly, although interference is rarely required here. We really only attract nice people. THANK GOD.<br /><br />I really don't consider myself a nerd and don't partake in many nerdy activities, but I am on Tumblr a lot and (some) people are constantly railing against girl geeks and their 'fakeness.' It's so stupid. It's probably just boys (yes, boys, not men) who are intimidated by women because they're stupid and pathetic and stupid. And pathetic.sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-10193936142941955042013-08-04T21:37:56.994-04:002013-08-04T21:37:56.994-04:00Josie and sunbunny, I'm glad you both liked th...Josie and sunbunny, I'm glad you both liked the video!

I love the SPN universe, but for me, it's all about the Winchesters, and the two actors who are playing them. Will the universe be as compelling if it's not about them? <br /><br />Hulk Cat.
