If the socially awkward male stereotype is to be oblivious to hints and the way your actions are interpreted, then the socially awkward female stereotype is to be misinterpret and overanalyze everything people do and think you're being very clear with your intentions when you really aren't. This is something I've seen repeatedly in many women, in their interactions with everybody in all kinds of situations, yet people rarely comment on it the way they do the bumbling male nerd. My theory on why tech seems to be an outlier in terms of gender-related disputes (other than that stories about it generate lots of clicks) is that rather than being an environment of "evil misogynistic geeks wreaking havoc on well adjusted females," it's really an environment of developmentally stunted socially awkward people all around, a perpetual comedy of errors of oversensitive idiots overreacting to bumbling fools.
