I've been thinking a bit about some of the same topics recently, partially spawned by a reference I saw to The Simpsons being "a geek show that went mainstream," and wondering what exactly makes something "a geek show." It's a topic I'll likely explore in a future post, but I'm not sure when.
I guess you could say an emotional connection to something is more of a feminine trait, while knowledge of trivia is masculine. Still, they generally go hand in hand, even if some people focus more on one side than the other. I've certainly never thought of music geekery as anything divided along gender lines.
And hey, if you make a metaphor involving Star Wars and forests, aren't you required to mention Ewoks?
