I went to When Fangirls Attack, and saw this post. I think being a geek is a major reason I'm not a choice feminist. Now, many female geeks hang around male geeks, who often defend pornified ideals of womanhood, and combined with the contempt that many have for women, it's much easier to put two and two together. Because the sexism is so blatant, it's much easier to cut through the bullshit. Of course, my personality helps. I don't like to win the battle just to lose the war. By depending on society's tropes (a woman is OK if she is sexxxy) to put forward a little bit of feminism, you tend to dilute the feminism so much it's not worth much. Better to just say "we're here, we're women, and we're not required to be sexbots!"

Note- comics anti feminist bingo here.
