  • Here with my boyfriend is a common assumption found in geek communities. Women are assumed to be present because they are tagging along with their boyfriend, husband, or similar, rather than being independently interested in the subject at hand. (Women are assumed to be geeks' partners, rather than geeks themselves.) This occurs at many geeky events including * Technical conferences * User groups * Hacker spaces * Science Fiction conventions * Comic conventions * Historical re-enactment events Note that if a woman does have a boyfriend in a field or a geek community, that shouldn't undermine her own interest and knowledge and right to be there. Even if she is just tagging along, that is not a problem at all. The problem is the assumption that a woman is present because of her boyfriend's interest and not her own.
