I get called by most of my women friends to fix their computer problems or for technical purchasing advice, almost never by men unless it's related to work and I'm the expert on the topic. Anecdote-wise I have a million stories about what it's like to be known socially as a technical person: I'm not sure most of those stories are any different from what it's like to be a technical person in any otherwise non-technical environment.
One thing that is quite special in my life: I have the honour to be around several young girls via my family and friends, and they don't treat me any different at all and often tell me pointedly how they know more about their devices than I do (I don't play games so they delight in showing me the details and beating me).
