Nerds as a US marginalized sector
Below is the description of "qualifications" for applicants to be interns at March for Women's Lives, the group that organized a large rally for legal abortion in Washington yesterday:

Undergraduate and graduate feminist women and men in all majors are encouraged to apply. Applicants must be passionate about a woman's right to choose and will have some experience in activism. The March for Women's Lives is committed to diversity and encourages applications from people of color, people from the GLBT community, people with disabilities, and math/science majors.
