Here's a crazy idea. Maybe it's because many geeks are simply growing tired of being shamed by females and their "allies" for being "awkward creeps" and they're starting to fight back?
Honestly, what did you expect? That you could tell socially inept male geeks, which make up most of the group, that they're bad persons for making you uncomfortable with their mere presence, and that they'd turn into well-adjusted gentlemen overnight? Bah.
