"And she's cute, too!"

[juliet]

Me guest blogging on the Geek Feminism blog.

(ION, this weekend I will mostly be learning to teach people to ride bikes. This is great, apart from the bit where it means doing *actual learning work* for 8 hrs a day for 4 days, which is tiring. Especially when you haven't done anything that looks like full-time work for a year.)

Techie women aren't cute? Cute women aren't techie? Those who claim to be both are mostly lying? We're back to a set of assumptions about what makes women worthwhile: appearance. And a projected opposition: you can be either attractive or intelligent, but not both.

/me glances at The Awesomest Girlfriend and notes distractedly that all of the above statements are demonstrably false.

Good post! And wow - I read all the comments on it, and then I read the 'You Know Linux? Marry me!' post and those comments, and I couldn't help noticing that virtually every male who responded to either post failed to get the point. In some cases, by miles. How depressing.

Yeah... There are some male commenters (in general) on the Geek Feminism blog who do get it, though! Which is nice.

Thank you!

Brilliant post. It gave me geek envy, for my geekfu sadly is lacking.

But you have lawyerfu instead, which is pretty damn cool.

BTW: if you are potentially interested in climate camp legal stuffs, you should drop legal@climatecamp.org.uk a mail.
