OP: "One of the roots of the problem is that some (a minority) geeks are just socially incompetent and harbour a bitterness against women so they have no idea how to interact normally with them."

You: It must be an extreme minority. I've never met such 'geeks'. However, it's never a problem to find men capable of sexist jokes, nor finding women capable of sexist jokes. "

Heh, right. I've seen thousands of socially incompetent people (not just geeks) but I've only met a few with bitterness against women. Those few, I almost can't blame, they got burned REALLY badly by women in their lives. It's not right for them to generalize that anger at *all* women, but put in their shoes, most people would do the same. Even if the genders were reversed.

That being said, I think most geeks IDOLIZE women, quite the opposite of being bitter. They might not have the social skills to come off as James Bond, they might be awkward and nerdy and shy and etc - but i REALLY do not see the bitterness. I see almost creepy idolization, as if women are gods. Oh well.
