Sexism is very much a part of geek hobbies. Someone pointed out the comments on the new Rogue One trailer and I went and looked and I couldn't believe the whines of feminism out control and how Disney has ruined Star Wars by social engineering. All because in two films the lead have been females. Though in my mind Finn got as much screen time as Rey. They bring up crap like you will never see women being Navy seals and leading troops in combat so this is not realistic. There is rage about it like some how having female lead has ruined their fandom. Even before any trailer came out about the Ghostbusters film the nerdrage from angry men was poring out any place the film was mentioned. Like some how changing things up and having three women instead of three men was a personal affront and that the evil feminist and SJW entire goal was to ruin this film for them.And you see this kind of rage a lot. When Mojo started MSMojo the anger from the cis white male geeks was apparent like some how having a channel run by women for women geeks was a  personal affront and  whose sole purpose was to take something away from them. Then you add to the mix these young men who believe in the whole pick up artist culture. Who are told by other men that they have a right to have sex with any woman and that some how if a woman is not interested than she is a broken and only wants a bad boy not a good guy. These guys really believe they are good guys but they are not they are entitled selfish jerks. A lot of their rage is directed at attractive women who they feel they are entitled to and since you are seeing more women joining geek hobbies the percentage of attractive women has risen and the rage that these guys feel towards these women joining the hobby and still not being interested in them is huge.You take all this anger directed at women and that is where harassment and violence comes from.  Women can't change it if we speak up and try to explain why they are wrong they are not going to listen the only one who can change this is other men.I was on a Marvel Agents of SHIELD page and the sheer amount of hate directed at Simmons for having emotions for the guy on the planet she was trapped was over whelming a lot of the guys were calling her a slut any female fan who spoke up for her got dog piled. I know some of the guys on the page and asked them why they didn't speak up when they disagreed with these guys and they said they didn't want to get involved that it would do no good and what does it matter it is only a TV show.The main reason for the hate was how dare that slut put Fitz in the friend zone. They feel the same about the other slut Daisy she had no right to have slept with her old boy friend because Fitz liked her. They honestly believe if a guy likes a gal then she has no autonomy she must give herself to him. Guys need to speak up when they see stuff like that. They need to call out the gate keepers of their fandoms who try and force female fans to prove their geek cred.</blockquote>
