    As a woman who has been trying for literal decades to exist in traditionally male nerdy spaces, there are a LOT of asshole gatekeeper guys that keep the women away. I’ve gotten everything from inquisitions into my “nerd cred” to outright rape threats from guys in nerdy and gaming communities.

      Actual guy at gaming table one day: “Man, why aren’t there ever any CHICKS at these MTG meets? I wanna see GIRL boob, not MAN boob!”

      Someone else: “It smells like 5 types of nutsack in here & every guy in here would eye rape any woman who came in here, that’s why”

      Original guy: classic nerd laugh “yeah, exactly!”

      They don’t listen, either. You get a girlfriend, wife, boyfriend, whatever, and they just keep being exactly the same and wondering why it doesn’t get better

      I fuckin hate em

    True, but we need to get women into nerdy hobbies without creepy guys scaring them off
