there is one thing that geekiness brings out in all of us: the knowledge of our own power and our innate worth. Most of the institutions that control our society have long sought to make women believe they are secondary in worthiness to men. Sure, we have made some progress, but history is a heavy weight on women or anyone who has been “othered.” However, geekiness in girls (or those who are girl-presenting) is something that tends to bring out confidence and empowerment.
