Have you heard the arguments on some internet forums about whether a particular woman is a "geek" or a "fake geek girl" -or even ether such a thing as a female geek exists? Meanwhile, there is a large and growing group of women who have heard it all and want you to know they have nothing to prove. Geek girls are what they are, and the song "Nothing to Prove" by The Doubleclicks says it well. In this video, women -and very young girls, too- contribute video clips that say what they want to add to the conversation. See more at the Tumblr blog Geek Girls have #Nothing to Prove.

The terms geek and nerd have changed in scope a lot over time. Seems to me there is no standard, no benchmark, no exam. Whether you dip your toes or dive head first, the title is open to anyone who wants it.
