How to explain to the nerds and geeks that posts from ladies and girls are the absolute highest quality content for ANY SOCIAL NETWORK out there.. any suggestions?

I think it's impossible. They've been collecting their auto-upvotes for so long, they now think they are entitled to them. A minnow who's got an auto-vote is of course just "farming". Using the subjective pretext of "quality content" is just a facade, trying to make it look like the downvotes are somehow justified and virtuous. Otherwise, everyone would simply assume they are driven by frustration.
