Week 9 VNS Matrix - Cyber feminism

With the development of technology, many work no need much physical demand requirement anymore, which is the weakness of female. Then female can do much more things than before. In old days, people's inherent cognition is that women are not good at working with science and technology. Even the traditional feminism. There are obvious differences between cyber feminism and traditional feminism. First thing is the attitude of science and technology. In the past, for the relationship between gender and technology, feminism mainly adopt the traditional concept of gender opposition, believe science and technology is a reproduction of male temperament, the attitude of science and technology is 'doubt' or 'refuse', and there is a kind of equivalence between 'science' and 'male'.

The cyber feminism conforms the trend of information technology development in the network society, encourage women to use network technology, to be the game-changer of male dominated ideology, use of new media to achieve the goal of equality between men and women. The new open source platform is the new type of human colabration, it is the the product of the age of the Internet. In the field of new technology, programmer as a example, the division of labor between men and women is no longer obvious. Women and men do the same work. Instead of social skills have higher requirements, which is the natural strength of women.

The word Matrix in the name of VNS-Matrix is quite meaningful. At the day we can digitalize everything, include our brain, and all of our memories, and the uterus also has an artificial substitute, physiological difference between male and female may only be a simple preference.
