I said something about nerdy t-shirts to an older couple (cause they both had on super nerdy t-shirts that I was complimenting) and they got offended until I explained that it was a compliment. It was cute.

I've actually never called myself a nerd.

I have no doubt that some people would call me that however.

The point was thatshedidnt like people pretending to be nerds.

If being nerd was viewed as negative she wouldn't be upset at people imitating nerds. But she was, so nerds now are viewed in a positive light. I was saying that back in the day, being a netd was viewed negatively.

Or wad it completely something else? Enlighten me, please.

In short, it's disturbingly common for males who consider themselves nerds to belittle, attack, and completely dismiss females who have the same interests as them, due to a privileged sense of self-superiority, even though the idea of "fake" nerds is stupid and, in any case, is just as prevalent in males as it is in females.

Women are garnering a bit more attention on the Internet for it, so I guess they are easier to spot.

No, men are happily smearing the **** out of women who express their interest in a topic that they are also interested in.
