G4 and the Perpetuation of Girl Nerds as Insincere

2010-03-03T23:41:40Z

I don’t know if anyone’s really commented on this..but that channel G4/Tech TV really has a thing about making people think that girl nerds simply don’t exist. As if the ones that play video games are only doing it for attention as an insincere gesture.

Dating Advice!

How does a nerd girl go about dating successfully in this culture that celebrates trophy wives and bimbos? Is it important for your partner to be as smart as you? I would be interested in knowing the struggles others have had!

Favorite nerd girls in movies/tv/books

2008-07-30T15:38:54Z

My absolute favorite nerd girl is Anne Shirley. I also like Susan Calvin from I, Robot (the character from the book, definitely not the movie). In the television spectrum, Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica gets high marks. I have a fondness for Peggy Olsen from Mad Men as well, although I don’t think she’s a true “nerd girl” yet (but may be by the end of the series).

Who are your favorite fictional nerd girls?

Leslie Winkle on the Big Bang Theory

2008-07-19T21:07:17Z

Does anyone watch The Big Bang Theory on CBS? If not, catch some episodes Mon. nights or on cbs.com . I love the show!
Sometimes Leslie Winkle (played by Sarah Gilbert) makes a guest appearance.
Do any of you identify with her? Do any of you identify with the neighbor Penny (played by Kaley Cuoco) who put together a tractor engine when she was 12?

Best Intelligent Female Musician

2010-03-30T16:23:24Z

My favourite musicians in this genre would be Sia Furley for her unique lyrics and filmclips.
Pink for her attitude while still maintaining femininity.
Liza Minelli for managing to become one of the most iconic musicians with her theatrical styles.
There are many other intelligent female musicians im sure.
What are your favourites?

NERDGIRLS ON TWITTER

If you can’t get enough of the nerdgirls, you can follow them on twitter @nerdgirls.

What are your thoughts on twitter in general? I was hesitant to adopt this technology, but it’s starting to grow on me.

the matrix

2008-07-20T01:02:35Z

so, the nerd girls article on newsweek said, “Today’s girl geeks are members of the first generation to have been truly reared on technology. They grew up on gender-neutral movies like “Hackers” and “The Matrix.”

okay not to be picky but how is The Matrix gender neutral? that movie is cool, but from a gender standpoint it drives me NUTS! Trinity kicked 100% ass in the first scene of the first movie, but it was straight downhill from there. by the end of the film she was reduced to a helpless outsider, who could only help the desperate situation by LOVING A MAN. give me a break.

watch for it girls! there’s movies and shows all over the place that have females who are kick ass part of the time, but take a back seat whenever the hero man enters the room. oh, or they fall in love. you know, you totally can’t be a strong woman once you’re in love, right?

as if!
