It really bothers me when people use the title "nerd girl". Why can't it just be "nerd"? Why is the gender important?

Because usually girls can often be found at shoe stores or kitchens. You're different and that makes you special! I like special

@GDev_Squeak Florida

Maybe because it's an uncommon occurrence? I think it should just be nerd though.

@unAnibe Chile

We all know why.

@xNANA1x NEW JERSEY BITCHAS

because people want to know genders online ? o.O

3:43PM Thu, May 31 2012

@rtorrealday

because they think it'll get the attention of nerds (male). apparently its gender specific

3:43PM Thu, May 31 2012

@TheMadGnome

I think that the identification of gender is supposed to imply an attraction. Me Boy see you Girl kinda thing...

@mikeperry91 canada

good lookin nerd* ;)

3:44PM Thu, May 31 2012

@rtorrealday

the gender is specific because males are generally referred to as nerds, females generally aren't

3:44PM Thu, May 31 2012

@TheXtaticOne

I would think the connotation with it being beside "girl" just makes the girl hawter. {B^)

3:45PM Thu, May 31 2012

@BadGeminton

So is the term nerd-boy not a thing? I'm not really up on the terminology of... anything.

3:45PM Thu, May 31 2012

@wolfram74 黄泉

because it’s more socially acceptable that way. If someone really was a “nerd,” it would reflect badly upon their reputation.

Why is the label important? Why can't it just be "human"?

@JamesTanm Moose Jaw, Saskachewan

'cause many people are intimidated by women and try to change them into a group so as not to feel scared

@taoxv88 Grand Rapids

because even though it seems like it is happening more & more through the years the much valued "Nerd / Geek Girl" is rare thing

3:47PM Thu, May 31 2012

@SweetAbiG Purgatory

Sexism. In their minds "nerd girls" can be, and are even expected to be, hot. But poor "nerd guys" apparently can't be.

3:47PM Thu, May 31 2012

@taoxv88 Grand Rapids

Nerd / Geek / Gamer girls were so rare that they were akin to the rarity of Unicorns. Right @milynnsarley?

3:48PM Thu, May 31 2012

@Jayanonymouz Irelando

most people that give there self that name are obviously posers and know that there is a some what attraction to nerd girls.. "/

3:48PM Thu, May 31 2012

@Meimoose New Palestine, Indiana

It's because "nerd" has to be a guy for some reason so when it is a girl, all of the guys freak out. #dumb

3:49PM Thu, May 31 2012

@brainthinks Washington, DC

Traditionally, nerds were boys. Girl nerds came later. The initial rarity required clarification and it stuck. And sounds cool.

3:49PM Thu, May 31 2012

@nati463 ~Heidelberg, Germany

very true! Nobody would think of saying "nerd guy", so why add the "girl"?

@Penny100000

hi :D i just wanted to know when your next video is :) (i just lost the game)

3:50PM Thu, May 31 2012

@slightly_blue17

It just makes it an exclusive title. Unnecessary. :/

@AndrewInCali Laguna Niguel, United States

Nerds were originally exclusively boys.So that term became male. Nerds Girl is used to differentiate from original meaning. B-)

3:55PM Thu, May 31 2012

@NeallyDjDigDug Chicago, IL

sexual reasons.

3:56PM Thu, May 31 2012

@senol_kural

maybe because of you are a girl :)

3:57PM Thu, May 31 2012

@natsukigirl

do you have a problem with people's gender choices when they don't align with your's? Interesting!

3:59PM Thu, May 31 2012

@peacemakerhero Location:In progress

Are nerd girls superiour to male nerds, just like girls and women are superiour to boys and men? Just a thought.

4:00PM Thu, May 31 2012

@friso1990 The Hague, Holland

I think that it means that the on who used that term didn't know that a nerd can be either gender

@Nerdgirl46 Jonesboro, AR

It's my youtube name and to get my user name I used a website were you put in stuff you like and it shows you a user name.

4:01PM Thu, May 31 2012

@VictorStrmgren Psykbunkern

@meekakitty Why can't it just be?

4:01PM Thu, May 31 2012

@natsukigirl

In other words, it's girl because that is what they choose. Deal with it.

4:01PM Thu, May 31 2012

@2daDavid Bratislava

Would nerdY girl be an acceptable compromise?

4:07PM Thu, May 31 2012

@natsukigirl

gender is not the same thing as sex, by the way. Gender is a mental/personality thing, sex is penis and vagina.

4:11PM Thu, May 31 2012

@natsukigirl

So when someone claims the title of "girl" they are usually making a statement about their individual personality.

4:13PM Thu, May 31 2012

@natsukigirl

It has nothing to do with you, society, or anyone else... it's what they desire to be viewed as, their choice.
