Feminism and the Technological Fix - Carol Stabile
Feminists react to technology with either technophobia or technomania
In 1970s, majority of feminists "dismissed technology as inherently patriarchal and malignant." "Shulamith Firestone was alone in the early seventies when she argued for the potentially liberatory aspects of technology." "technological determinism of the sesventies began to recede somewhat during the eighties"
p510 - Mary Daly founding ecofeminist
nature- feminine, matriarchal past
tehcnology - phallic, brutal present
binarism
women should reject tech --> solve contemp social probs
p512 - Donna Haraway endless metaphors that don't really give an effective means of grasping the structural aspects of oppression
cyborg is both "unnatural cyborg women making chips in Asia and spiral dancing Santa Rita jail" --> Fred Moore upset by these asian chip making women
