That's how I interpreted all of this, nor did I feel any of the people
here were objectifying women (or even geeks, though they were the target
of the humour). It did lead to an interesting debate I've recently
finished about how individuals often read into such statements false
intentionality very easily (on grounds on gender, class, ethnicity or
whatever), but it's still off-topic for Debian User at the end of the
day as far as I see it. Not that I'd impose anything on anyone if I could.

I thought a large part of the joke was self-reflexive, making fun of
the stereotypical view of how geeks and nerds supposedly don't
understand romantic relationships, in other words, that it was as much
people making fun of the stereotypes they could fall into as it was
anything else.
