I dislike that The Big Bang Theory gives the impression it’s extremely rare for women to be pop culture nerds. I’m a woman who loves marvel movies and Star Wars and Star Trek and hope to one day find a boyfriend who likes those things too
Big Bang Theory is stuck in some '90s ideas of nerds.
Back then, people would joke that guys would never find a girlfriend while playing DnD. Now I have a pair of friends who got married and originally bonded as part of our DnD group, and that seems completely normal.
It is rare. I’ve had dozens of women partners and only one was ever a nerd. the vast majority of women are not nerds and male nerdiness in the general population is frowned upon. almost every woman i have ever met my entire life also looks down on ‘nerdy’ things.
on internet forums, yes, it’s more highly represented. most women nerds i’ve ever known were from internet forums/groups.
