Geek Girls: You DON'T get to choose what we look like
1. GEEK GIRLS
You DON'T get to
CHOOSE what we LOOK
LIKE
2. This slide is in response to all the nonsense circulating on the internet
regarding fake geek girls. This is aimed at all the people who would
judge us on our looks and try to force standards of geekyness on us.
There are no rules or standards of geekyness.
Geek girls come in all shapes, sizes, and from all walks of life, and no
one gets to tell us what we should look like. Geek girls are geek girls
whether you like it or not, and we don't need to compromise for you.
