Abstract

In this paper I research how misogyny is experienced throughout nerd culture by looking over formally researched studies as well as examining personal experiences. I viewed how misogyny takes place varying from condescending questions to sexual harassment at conventions. Additionally I look into how unrealistic stereotypes in nerd media affect the treatment of women in these environments.
