Geek women don't exist is a thought lying behind a number of excuses for sexism and for catering exclusively for a (hetero- and cisnormative) male audience in geek communities and media. It is rarely used as an argument as itself, but can be found behind arguments as an underlying basis. If any, the rationale behind this thought usually is: * Women are inherently too nurturing/vulnerable/sensible to enjoy geeky things such as games/comics/technology, and also * Geekdom simply is Not for women and thus women cannot possibly find any true value in it.

  • Geek women don't exist is a thought lying behind a number of excuses for sexism and for catering exclusively for a (hetero- and cisnormative) male audience in geek communities and media.

Wherefrom follow these assumptions to explain the perceived existence of female persons within geekdom: * Women join geek communities out of fads or to be posers, or to get attention * Women only partake in geek activities to accompany their male partners or to act as Killjoy gatekeepers * Women only partake in geekdom because they can't get a boyfriend
