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.
