I've become a big fan of the Big Bang Theory. So I have a question for all of my geek family out there, of the characters in the show, which have you known, and which have you been?
I don't think they represent female geekdom too well. I'm kind of Penny in that I go between the two worlds, but I'm definitely a geek, whereas she is not.
I like Leslie Winkle cuz she's a true female geek, but that's all they've had, and that's where the similarities end.
And I think Leonard's mom is on the autism spectrum. Sheldon might be, too. Although Jim Parsons is just brilliant and somehow makes him likable.
