OK Geoff, explain this "Geek Girl Con" thing to me. Why do girls get their own nerd convention?
Hey, let's face it, Zilla, women are geeks too. They like role playing and video games just as much as us guys.
Yeah, but that's why all geek cons are co-ed! There's nothing inherently male about geekdom, and there's nothing pro-fem about making existing geekdom extra girly.
Dude, just get into the spirit of the thing. It's women celebrating their unique contribution to gaming, and I think we owe it to them to at least give it a chance.
OK, fine. So what should we do first?
Let's go to the Games Workshop booth and play Girlhammer 40K.
