This is really interesting. On fake geek girls, policing and the obligation to know by Joseph Reagal. In the following sections I describe these and other lexical manifestations of the geek obligation to know. I then show how geek feminism makes use of this culture. I argue the site Geek Feminism demonstrates and furthers its geekiness through the deployment of the obligation to know about rudimentary feminist thought in the geek context. This basic information is often referred to as 101 knowledge, an import from the online feminist lexicon. Additionally, I briefly discuss issues and notions novel to geek feminist discourse including the Unicorn Law, impostor syndrome, and mansplaining. First, I provide some background on online geek and feminist culture. reagle.org/joseph/2013/ok/ok.html reagle.org/joseph/2014/fake/fake.html cc Carly Kocurek Anastasia Salter TsuiDo Nym Dorothy Kim Meg Worley
