geek women are awesome

I love that 90% of the posts in my circle/flist today are of fabulous geek women ripping that sexist, condescending NYTimes GoT review to shreds.

(It was women who got me to read the books, women who waited in line with me to hear GRRM speak, women who are coming to my house to watch the GoT premiere… My mom who called me in hysterics in the middle of the night because she’d just read that one scene with Theon and Asha…)

ETA: Oooh, io9’s response is particularly awesome.
