Maybe not here, but yeah, I think for a lot of people being into super nerdy stuff is still pretty “I can respect that, but not for me” kind of territory. People can be REALLY mainstream.

Your idea of what a “widely accepted undesirable trait” is is pretty off

I didn’t say what women *should* be doing among themselves as a feminist community. I said that’s the purpose it served. It also doesn’t represent any kind of double standard.
