Geek Girl Commandments and Bill of Rights
With the surge of superhero movies, non-geek girls who are dragged to the movies by their boyfriends are slowly starting to discover the awesomeness that is nerdy obsession and peek behind the pop culture curtain.
Instead of going River Tam on the cheerleaders that so harshly rejected us, we need to guide these ladies into our culture (even if it means enjoying the fact that we're higher on the social - ha! - ladder than they are). If they want to play on our grid, they need to play by our rules. Here's a list of ten Geek Girl Commandments and the Geek Girl Bill of Rights you can share with the amateur geek girl you're mentoring. Geek Girl Commandments I) Thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s 20-sided die.In the name of the Scully, the Connor, and the holy Ripley, Amen. Geek Girl Bill of Rights * I have the right to be taken seriously for my interests and not be accused of getting into video gaming, comic books, science, or other traditionally male-dominated geek interests to impress a guy.Courtesy Forces of Geek. |
