Re-Think Things: Geek is Gender Neutral
February 26, 2012 2:19 pm It's not. I've seen ads for iFanboy and I've avoided the site, because I don't want to deal with a bunch of misogynist, homophobic fanboys. That might not be a fair assessment of the site, but I've seen enough of that sort of thing that I'm not interested in browsing around a place called iFanboy to find out more.
"Geek" is a gender neutral term. "Fanboy" is not. This is an excellent article, but the fact that you have to point out that "girls are geeks, too" tells me something about your readership. As do the responses to this comment.
