Re: Be a Nerd Girl

Since I wouldn't have been able to write something this eloquently, I found what I wanted to say by someone on Baker's wall. I'll leave it anon.

"This whole website just feels incongruous to me. The words are great... smart is sexy, and brains are beautiful. I'm all in favor of women feeling empowered to change the world. The problem for me is that the pictures don't match the message; there's a lot of sexy on that page, and it is wholly unrelated to smarts. Taking a bunch of women who are doing great work with science and engineering, and dolling them up to appeal to male fantasy, seems so regressive."
