Kotaku - Nerds and Male Privilege.
The idea that perhaps the way women are portrayed in fandom is aleetle sexist is regularly met with denials, justifications and outright dismissal of the issue. So regularly, in fact, that there's a Bingo card covering the most common responses. Part of the notion of male privilege in fandom is that nothing is wrong with fandom and that suggestions that it might benefit from some diversity is treated as a threat.
But what is that threat, exactly?

its got "substance", just not the kind we are looking for.. if you cant see that then the only thing you got is a shit stain as well
there is definitely a reason why this good dr. decided to "pick on geeks"... but who gives a fuck? let him rot in the grave he chose
you clearly did not read the first paragraph of the article. the author has a motive and that is to score some points in order to get into the pants of his new girlfriend. he can do that on his own time but writing an article about it because he felt his girlfriend got violated by the stare of a geek at a comic store he visits regularly as full of shit stain. im sure once his girlfriend dumps him for a sport jock he will stare at other women with drool going down the side of his mouth.
