xkcdexplained:

The Author has fabricated a hypothetical college course where intelligent female physics students (geeks) act violently towards male psychology students (non-geeks). 
It is possible that this comic is a manifestation of past social and/or sexual frustrations from the Author’s college days.

The author of this explanation is operating under the flawed assumption that all physics students are geeks and all psychology students are not. I believe this to be a fallacy, as I know several non-geeky physics students, and one extremely geeky psychology student.
It is possible that the author of this explanation also inappropriately capitalized “author.”
