This is utter drivel and a mindless parroting of the zeitgeist. Do you seriously think there are men barring the entrance to women who are interested in joining the geek community? Let's take an example, shall we? That of Aureylian.

She is awful at Minecraft. Yet she has over 200k subscribers, and has been accepted to both the Forgecraft and Mindcrack servers. There are a least a million men with far more talent she has jumped over to get on to those servers. What this a fight to be accepted? She was ushered to the top of the heap almost instantly.
What men, and geeks don't like are posers. If you have genuine enthusiam, you'll be accepted, if you just want to join the latest thing because it's cool, you will have trouble. In this men and women are held to the exact same standards.
For further confirmation, just watch as all the beta white knights jump in to defend you from this terrible criticism, just because you're a woman.
