Geek Feminism Wiki

Overview

A sexualized environment is one where sexual activity or sexy clothing or behaviour are prominent. This often occurs in geek environments and, by prominently displaying women as sexy, available for sex, or "other" than the predominantly male geek attendees, may make women uncomfortable.

Examples of sexualized environments

  • Many geek conferences are inappropriately sexualized through the presence of booth babes, inappropriate sexual content in presentations, etc.
  • Gaming is a highly sexualized environment
