I do think there’s something here— I just don’t know what. I was talking to a friend last night about nerds and masculinity. We touched on a wide range of stuff, including a conspiracy theory I had as a kid that anime was a psy op to weaken American men. https://twitter.com/default_friend/status/1344547730031521792

Another interesting thread for me:

Technical as well as mathematical literacy and expertise is a VERY attractive quality, it signals masculinity in the same way physical strength does.

At least for me, but I’d imagine this is common.

I want to surround myself with people who can understand tech. There’s nothing I fear more than becoming or marrying a Luddite.

To me, it’s a survival skill. And a critical one.
