As your friendly neighbourhood jock-nerd, I'm here to remind you once again that nerds have always been more misogynistic than jocks, and it's not particularly close.
I said what I said.
Y'all act surprised every time this gets revealed to be true.
@mekkaokereke
I would guess it’s because the jocks actually talk to the girls.
Is amazing what actually getting to know people does for your ‘ism’s.
@taatm @mekkaokereke That's what I was thinking. They kind of get more of a chance to grow out of the ideas they form as teens, when they eventually form long term relationships with women. Which nerds can do too of course and which some jocks fail to do. It's that growing out of it thing that's key I think. So many misogynistic attitudes of adult men sound so juvenile. Sound like the ideas of boys who haven't learned better by experience of the real world.
You put it very well.
i often have exactly the same impression when i hear or read such statements.
these men have apparently not developed this part of their personality since they were teenagers.
@taatm @mekkaokereke Except there are plenty of nerds who aren’t men, including me. No nerd interest is 100% male-only. But even in their teens, nerd men will fight to keep their spaces free of women, lest they have to confront the idea that they aren’t smarter than women. The idea of “at least I’m better than a woman” sets in very young.
