Courtesy of Slashdot, an article about “Stupid Male Geek Culture” and how it’s keeping women from entering engineering fields. My personal favorite is the following comment posted in response to this:

I get discriminated against by stupid, pretty female culture a LOT more than women get discriminated against by stupid male geek culture. I am willing to be that most geeks feel the same way.
You want a cease fire? Fine. start playing fair with us and we might play fair with you.

In all seriousness, though, what’s so ’stupid’ about male geek culture? I mean, okay, we have All Your Base, Just Got Owned, Tanuk Tanuk Tan, and, granted, those probably aren’t the most intellectual memes in the world. But, you have to admit, it beats the heck out of The View, Britney Spears, or, really, any celebrity gossip at all. Have I mentioned Sex & The City? How about the network formerly known as the WB? I could go on like this all day.

The defense rests.
