I don't think defining one's self as, say, a nerd but not a dork is inane

And, as a show of solidarity, I'll let you know that I've also read stupid-ass mindless women's gossip rags when I was bored and there was nothing else to read. Thankfully, this usually only happens in waiting rooms when they don't have any readers digests or anything, and I tend to gravitate towards the puzzles once I remember they're in there.

Hmm. And, following some reflecting on this, as well as a conversation with dualistic, I'm now retracting what I have said here in my arguments against a 'geek girl' magazine. It's okay to have some similarity in places because it might not contradict the overall theme. I still maintain that it'd be just as important, if not moreso, to have the girl's POV accessible somewhere for guys to read.
