This post is from the blog of Wendy McElroy; a Canadian Individualist Anarchist-Feminist. It was posted by her husband, Brad.<\/p>\n

I have written a lot about the plight of nerdy\/geeky men under traditional gender roles. In this article, Brad points out how (as I have pointed out before), male nerds are a victimized group. He points out how the “safe space” thing has only really applied to certain victimized groups rather than all victimized groups.<\/p>\n

As for McElroy,\u00a0because she’s an Individualist<\/em> Feminist,\u00a0she’s virulently against the establishment feminist movement and has written some of the most brilliant critiques of that movement and its methodology ever penned (indeed, her book XXX:\u00a0A Woman’s Right to Pornography<\/em>\u00a0is published on her website and\u00a0represents a\u00a0fantastic attack on anti-porn, anti-sex feminists like MacKinnon and Dworkin).<\/p>\n

Geeky men’s safe(r) spaces… video gaming, comics and the like… have been under siege. Not by women (geeky women have been part of geek culture ever since the beginning, although they have been a minority within it), but by feminists and “normal people” generally. I’ve written extensively about this in my article “Complaining About ‘Fake Geek Girls’ Is Not Misogyny.” I’m all for reducing the technological barriers to accessibility, but the remaining question is where will the real geeks go when\u00a0‘geek’ culture becomes reflective of the mainstream norms which they do not relate to?<\/p>\n

Anyway, please read the linked article. Comment if you’d like.<\/p>\n

My next piece for GendErratic has made substantial progress as well.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"reddit\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>by <\/span>\"feather\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
