Pussy Bites Back (Geek Actually #1.7) by Rachel Stuhler

Category: Adult, Contemporary, Mature
Purchase: SerialBox

This is the 7th episode in the first season of Geek, Actually, a 13-episode serial from Serial Box Publishing. This episode written by Rachel Stuhler.

With Michelle pressuring her to write a blog post on one side, and worries about Taneesha pressing in from the other, Aditi channels both stressors into a searing, powerful blog post about safe spaces. The post soon goes viral, calling attention both to Aditi herself and the issues she wrote about. Elli has her own brush with the darker corners of the Internet as she helps Ruby manage her affairs.

Join this tight-knit group of lady geeks as they navigate the ups and downs of their personal and professional lives. Michelle is a hard-nosed fantasy and sci-fi editor used to things going her way. Taneesha is a talented video game programmer used to being the odd (wo)man out. Aditi is a fantasy writer on the verge of her big break. Christina is a rebel on the sidelines of Hollywood. And Elli is a fan—of anything and everything that keeps her from “proper adulting.” They might live far apart, but through the power of the internet and a shared love of all things geek, they are ready to face the world together.

 

Review:

[book rating=5/5]

This is what I have been waiting for! Aditi throws down with her words and the blog post goes viral! She just needed to get passionate about something, to set off her creative mind. Of course she is going to have passion over the jackasses online who think doxing is acceptable. I never understood why people feel like being online is the perfectly acceptable way to shower others in hate. But of course now the Men’s Rights focus is going to turn to her. UGH.

I think that sometimes when we step out of our comfort zone we realize that maybe we built that zone to keep us protected from the outside world and damn the characters this week are bulldozing  down that wall! Taneesha decides to get some Bey flavored Lemonade and go make herself feel better with a makeover, only to get more male chauvinistic shit from her coworkers. Here’s to hoping she leaves this workplace with a scathing smile on her face! I hate that she is dealing with this, and she still hasn’t thrown her damn coworker under the bus…yet.

Christina is definitely knocking some bricks off her wall, and is getting more than she bargained for with Vivi, and I secretly want them to become an amazing gay power couple! While Elli tries to bail on her new job just when she realizes that not everything about being a public figure in Ruby’s life is all sweet and rosy. There is so much hate in this world and as the episode displays the strength of the woman it also makes you so aware of how cruel this world is, damn humans.
