I agree that a lot of nerds don't even like women, or see them as equal human beings with their own agency.

But I think the nerd form of misogyny is both more possessive and more dangerous.

Eg, in my lived experience, nerd answers on these questions are significantly worse than athlete answers:

• Should women have reproductive rights?
• Is child marriage OK?
• Should society "assign" women to men as partners? Or let women choose?

These are truly dangerous and possessive misogynistic ideas, turning into dangerous and possessive laws and actions. More athletes choose the reasonable answers. Laws eroding women's reproductive rights, and legalising child marriage, and "intellectual" conversations around removing women's rights to even choose a partner, are coming from nerds, not jocks.
