I first heard about the                              http://geekfeminism.wikia.com
geekfeminism site because
of it's more controversial       POLAR_TRAP
bloggers.                        ESSENTIAL_EROCOS

This initially gave me a fairly                             HIVE_VAGINA
bad impression of them....

But poking around geekfeminism.wikia.com
gives me a more positive feeling.  The
voice of the wiki is a much more                This makes me feel better
toned-down and moderate voice. E.g. it's        about this project...  they're
pretty clear they don't as a group stand        actually capable of thinking
behind Stoker's veiled slut-shaming.            and responding to criticism.

complaining about being attacked as a                thrown over-board as a
non-geek because she's a humanities major.           political liability a few
                                                     years later.
  Courtney Stoker               Where did all
  apparently expects            these people come
  people to *appreciate*        from who want to
  the fact that she's           play geek police?
  condescending to
  "study" them...                        Remember back when
  We should feel honored                 geek was an insult?
  by the attentions of
  this great intellect.
