So it's just self-perpetuating. Nothing changes. :/

*sigh* In my experience, which is admittedly just that 'my experience' and thus not a full test set or anything, girls who were always geeks such that they suffered as geek just like the males did, tend to not really suffer any prejudice and are treated jut like 'one of the bros' or whatever. I will admit this is…
Okay, what do YOU expect from a group of men who have been constantly told be society and experience that women hate them and will never given them the time of day?
No, at most i just don't want to feel belittled and demeaned.
You should definitely expect not to be harassed. You should also expect not to be treated like God's gift to geek-kind (not suggesting you ever said you should be). Beyond that you should probably expect that people will be slower in trusting/opening up to you and that sometimes, someone may judge you more…
You're right it doesn't! I've been saying just that! There is NEVER ANY excuse for acting like a misogynistic ass. But by the same token, I don't think an expectation that geeks should just instantly accept all these new females into their inner circle either. Society and experience has trained them to distrust…
I didn't say there wasn't, much the opposite I explicitly said there was. Probably shit like Desperate Housewives and Dance Moms or whatever being the worst.
Have never indicated that the expectation should be anything but. You don't have to like someone to show than basic common decency.
You're right, I DON'T know troubles a women has t face everyday. I'm sure it's bad. I KNOW it's bad. Really bad, epidemic bad. I don't mean to downplay that, the marginalization of women by society is far wider reach and more insidious than anything perpetuated upon any group of males.
Except they are. Look at all the ridiculous 'Geek-splotation' shit popping up on TV. Sure, the Big Bang Theory is the most popular Comedy series on Television, but that's the thing. Comedy. Every time I have ever watched the show it felt like 26 minutes of being horribly mocked. I don't mean that to say there…
You are missing the pint. They don't care about being losers. They've already accepted that and moved on. Perhaps not every girl mocked them, but those who didn't certainly weren't standing uo to defend them, nor did they want anything to do with them. So perhaps not every girl mocked them, but the rest of the…
They've been trained by mistreatment to distrust people not similarly ostracized by the world. You can go to a Con on the week end, and for the rest of the week the world will treat you normally. They go to a gaming Con on the weekend and for the rest of the week they have to endure insults and belittlement.
There is no reason to act like a misogynistic ass, but your comment says a lot. You call them losers.
You can't understand people not wanting to game with people who mocked them?
It sounds like you don't understand what it means to be a geek.
I think your goal is certainly admirable, I await to see how your implementation goes.
Oh god I hate shaped boob armor so much.
Wow, that sounds...
So just is case it turned back on without my knowledge somehow, it wouldn't be able to collect any info.
Oh man, if they made a Kinect free version I'd be back to considering both systems equally.
