This is an interesting article my girl friend just shared with me regarding why women are treated differently in the nerd-world.
Nerds and Male Privilege (http://kotaku.com/5868595/nerds-and-male-privilege)
It is a good read. WARNING: Contains some adult language

I for one am appalled by the lack of unsexy, overweight, neck-bearded male superheroes. All the ones on the cover have rippling muscles, rugged good looks, baby-face anime boy-band qualities and/or imbeccable fashion sense. I feel that the comic industry and Hollywood exploits the male body every time I see Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio in a leading love interest role and not Jack Black or Philip Seymor Hoffman.
