Geek Girls Rule! #227 – Why are We Even Talking About Sexy Anyway?

This was yet another twitter comment.  As always, if you want me to name you, I’ll do it.  But don’t feel obligated.  In the middle of the question and answer period on Sexy Geek Boys and if men got their geek cred challenged like women did, someone asked why sexy was even a factor at… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #227 – Why are We Even Talking About Sexy Anyway?

Geek Girls Rule! #226 – FanGirling and Objectification

Ok, so I’m doing a lot of these analyses of fan culture lately, and that is in part because my twitter followers wade through my goofy tweets and ask really important trenchant questions.  They make me think, a lot, and I love them for it.  So big hugs to all my twitter followers!  You guys… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #226 – FanGirling and Objectification

Geek Girls Rule! #225 – Fan Culture and Celebrity

I make no secret of the fact that I was born when the earth was flat and computers were gigantic things full of tubes that took up entire rooms or buildings.  And nowhere has this become more apparent to me than engaging in fan culture.  I’ve told you all that my personal tumblr (not the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #225 – Fan Culture and Celebrity

Geek Girls Rule! #224 – Sexy Geek Boys

Ok, equal time and all that.  Do a Google image search for “sexy geek boys.”  I’ll wait.  So, an awful lot of the images that come up on that search happen to be either women (“sexy geek girls”), or male actors who play characters beloved by geeks, but who aren’t necessarily geeks themselves.  The normal… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #224 – Sexy Geek Boys

Geek Girls Rule! #223 – Sexy Geek Girls, Yay or Nay?

Ok, to be clear, I’m not asking if you LIKE them.  I honestly don’t care. I do.  I know many people who do, and many people who don’t.  To each his own.  But someone commented on “Geek Girls Rule! #191 – Sexism in Geek Culture” asking me what I thought of the geek cheesecake out… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #223 – Sexy Geek Girls, Yay or Nay?

Geek Girls Rule! #222 – Tipping. Yes, Again.

I know, I know, didn’t I just lecture you guys about this?  Well, no, actually, it’s been a couple of years, and someone who found that old post on tipping, sent me a link to a graphic that explains tipping:  why you should do it, when you should do it, and how you should do… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #222 – Tipping.

Geek Girls Rule! #220 – Women Love Widow.

So, I went to see Avengers for the third time last night!  And got to meet a charming gentleman who said he read my blog (Hello!!!!).  I took my friend Kayla because her boyfriend hadn’t taken her yet (in all fairness their work schedules are completely opposite right now).  So we went up to the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #220 – Women Love Widow.

Geek Girls Rule! #219 – What’s So Hot About Villains?

I talked about this a bit on the podcast, but I’d like to elaborate some on what I said here. One of the siren calls of the “Nice Guy ™” is that women only like Bad Boys/assholes.  And when we swoon over villains like Loki (Tom Hiddleston), Jareth (David Bowie), or the Sheriff of Nottingham… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #219 – What’s So Hot About Villains?

Geek Girls Rule! #218 – Now With More Misogyny

So, Anita Sarkeesian, who does the Feminist Frequency Vlog has decided to do a series on the tropes of women in videogames.  Now, she’s touched on this before, talking about Bayonetta and the ad campaign surrounding that game.  But this time she really wants to get into the meat of the roles of women in… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #218 – Now With More Misogyny

Star Wars: The 35th Anniversary

Today is the 35th anniversary of the release of Star Wars. For my generation, it was a defining moment of our youth. I have no doubt that it was the gateway to geekdom for so many of us. I was already a fan of Space: 1999 and The Six Million Dollar Man, but the experience… Read More Star Wars: The 35th Anniversary
