Hi Kate,
No intent to offend. "Geek Girls" [1] is the name of a group here in
Australia (I thought it was a global term, but I may be wrong). Maybe a
cultural difference.
Maybe you are in a position to help craft a suitable concise definition
of "sexualized images" which could be incorporated into a CoC? (Or
possibly point us at others definitions)?
