Momtagonists: 7 Moms Who Get to Be The Hero
It’s Mother’s Day this weekend, and we thought we’d spend this week talking about moms who get to be the heroes.
Introducing The Braiser
Normal-girl: Tumblr's Overnight Fandom
Rachel Weil on Girly Games
The Geek Guide to Dating A Geek
Amanda Reviews The Avengers
The Mary Sue hopes to be a place for two things: highlighting women in the geek world, and providing a prominent place for the voices of geek women. Because all we really want is to just be able to geek out with all geeks, of any gender, without feeling like our femininity is front and center for scrutinization. To not feel like we have to work harder than guys to prove that we’re genuinely into geek culture. We want simple things, like to be able to visit a comic book store without feeling out of place. To be able to buy a video game without getting the sense that the cashier thinks we’re buying it for someone else.
So come one, come all, girls who are geek, guys who are geek, and everything above, below, and in between. We’re going to discuss movies, and comics, and science, and the internet. We’re going to talk about geek girls, and we’re going to let geek girls talk. We’re call it like we see it, and we’re going to have fun.
Enjoy.
PS. If you’re wondering about the inspirations for our logos, check out this post we did on Geekosystem shortly before The Mary Sue launched.
