@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io as a woman who's also a nerd (books, boardgames, etc), I know how bad nerds get. It's largely insecurity when they don't measure up to society's standards of what makes one masculine. Many compensate by dialing up the sexism because that's a benchmark they can meet.
Those who otherwise meet the societal definition of masculinity don't have to be assholes because they aren't made to feel insecure. The same systems fucking over women are fucking over nerds and instead of pushing back and realizing we're their allies, they punch down in hope of earning acceptance within those fucked up standards.
