Most of my fellow nerds in my day were overjoyed that a woman was in the class or in the labs. At Purdue, the rather-average-to-below-average looking girls were put on pedestals that many never came back down from (especially since they had never been up there before). It was a fun (yet depressing) social experiment to observe.

(Depressing because suddenly I couldn't even get ugly girls anymore!!)

But violence against them? By other STEM male students? No way on earth. Any geek driving away the few females around would have been subject to all kinds of creative technological hell.

I remember my Circuits class at LSU. I was the only chick in a class of 300. Good times, good times.
