So I saw this comic today in Dorkly and although I agree that there are Fake Geek Girls, as my previous posts may say, we shouldn't let this whole "conspiracy" prevent us from finding "real" geek girls. Just look at the comic lol.

Wow, that is such a load of shit. I'm sorry but people have got to stop passing around this constructed narrative that there are just these guys standing around waiting to fuck up womens fun on the basis of gender. It is in its self, significantly more sexist then actually pointing out someone who is a complete fake.
The idea is that the woman is, in their mind, invading their precious little male treehouse, as she has a right to. Of course, when men try to do something similar for discussions in womens' safe spaces, that's treated as some kind of invasion [http://www.shortpacked.com/2012/comic/book-14/03-totally-babies/equaltime/], as if they're trying to drown out women just by disagreeing with them or wanting to join the discussion.
Incidentally, I stopped reading Shortpacked after too much sanctimonius social justice nonsense. Just looking at that comic is making me upset.
