I have worked in IT now for over 10 years and I have know both men and women that have behaved the way the female character does. I am an equal opportunity hater in that regard. I treat everyone as equals until I get to know them. Then I judge their level of intelligence or lack there of.</p><p>I don't here anyone complaining that the guys in the comic strip are the stereo typical geeks. Not all geeks were hoodies, have long hair and where T-shirts with geeky saying on them. There are a lot that do and that is cool the author has no social responsibility to portray all types of geek proportionately. I also don't think it was the author's intention to stereo type all geek girls. Who know maybe it is their fantasy to have some non technical girl hanging around bestowing the glory of all things they do then more power to them. </p>jeffhMon, 13 Jul 2009 20:10:15 -0000
