He was getting too old for this.
A hundred years ago, at twenty-six he would not just have been married but would have had at least three, maybe four, kids.

I read the majority of another chapter and I just can‘t. I flipped through and scanned over the rest of the book.
Maybe 5 WOC mentioned (generous on 5).
Every chapter ended with a description of what that geek girl‘s ideal man. - Just no even in 2011 just let women love stuff without men involved.
It was either super current topic (Twilight) or older (Riot Grrl era).
If there is an updated edition of this book cool, it is super dated.

OrangeMooseReads 👆🏼 the idea is great, love the idea. The approach and execution terrible. More research needed to be done, more depth was needed. It needed to be about the “geek girls” it needed more about the culture not just 4-5 white women in that genre. It could have been so good. I am incredibly disappointed. 2mo

The struggle is real with this. Published in 2011 there is praise for some people that were found to be super problematic. Holy Twilight! I swear by all things if there is more about Twilight I might throw this book.
I‘m leaning hard on DFN- I just skimmed and skipped most of the “Film Geek” chapter because ALL WHITE WOMEN! All the women mentioned white all the characters white. You‘re gonna tell me there isn‘t 1 WOC that could make it in 2011?

OrangeMooseReads It was the same in the “Book Geek” chapter as well all white women. There are some amazing classics written by WOC. 2mo

My #bedsidestack
I‘m kind of on a nonfiction kick at the moment.
I think I‘m going to start with the tagged book cause it‘s short.
And of course Miss Belly #littenkitten

Amiable “Yale Needs Women” is a really good read! 2mo
Megabooks @Amiable agree! 2mo
OrangeMooseReads @Amiable @Megabooks thanks! That may need to be the next read 🙂 2mo
