ECCC Roundup!.
I'm Molly McIsaac and I curated and was on the "How to Talk to Girls" panel. It was not our intention to be demeaning - these are questions I am asked nearly every day, and I was speaking from first hand experiences (of the negative variety). If you stayed around for the questions, you would have noticed that people were asking incredibly basic questions - because in our subculture people DO need help in this subject.
Myself (and John Roderick if he's at the same con as I am!) will continue this panel because it helps rather than hurts. It's a necessary evil, and I was delighted with how many people - men and women, straight and gay - approached me afterwards on the convention floor to "practice" on me and then ask my opinion.

Boy Nerds Are Still Trying to Tell Girl Nerds That They're Not Real Nerds.
Thank you so much for posting our video! It means a lot to us!
This is an important issue that I have addressed several times on various websites I write for - the entire argument is absurd and archaic. A recent article by the editor of Dark Horse for Comics Alliance puts things nicely: http://www.comicsalliance.com/2012/11/15…
