As Teh Internet knows, no girls actually like sci-fi, comic books, et al. Those that seem to like these traditionally geeky male domains? Faking it. Obviously.
But why? Why would they put on hipster glasses and bone up on Justice League members and Doctor Who continuity? What’s their motive? So far, Teh Internet has been silent on this topic. But now we know. Oh yes, now we know.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
