Some Geek Boys Called These Geek Girls 'Fake.' They Certainly Won't Be Making That Mistake Again...

I've never posted a video on DU before (or anywhere else, for that matter), but I have a hunch you all will get as much of a kick out of this as I did, and as did the person who turned me onto it, regardless of whether you're a geek or not.






"If you're a lady-human of the geek persuasion, you've probably had a run-in or two with dude-geeks who think you just aren't geeky enough (whatever that means). OK ... so I can't speak Vulcan? That doesn't mean I'm not a true "Star Trek" fan. And besides, Mr. Dude-Geek, even if you do make this kind of stupid assumption again, as this nerd-tastic song explains, I certainly don't have to prove myself to you."

The mark of a true satriani trek fan is being able to say you support everything up to Abrams trek

And it was with the wait. I was just talking to a medical student about Geek Culture--she's all about it--I so love seeing girls and women speaking up like this.
