Many descriptions that have a male and female version are these days often dropping the female one.
e.g. many females who appear on stage/in film are referred to as actors rather than actresses
One that has definitley gone out is 'authoress'
And 'geekette' has a diminuitive connotation as well as a feminine one.
It's like referring to women as 'girls' - it is derogatory in most usage.
