Feminist Technologies?
“We have then four candidates for feminist technology:
1) technologies that are good for women;
2) technologies that constitute gender-equitable social
relations;
3) technologies that favor women; and
4) technologies that constitute social relations that are
more equitable than those that were constituted by a
prior technology or than those that prevail in the wider
society.” [emphasis added]

Vostral, and K. Boyer (Eds.). Feminist Technology. Champaign, IL: University of Illinois Press.

Discipline Effects
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVCC83cDch0
The first thing I want to say to you who are students, is that
you cannot afford to think of being here to receive an
education: you will do much better to think of being here to
claim one. One of the dictionary definitions of the verb "to
claim" is: to take as the rightful owner; to assert in the face
of possible contradiction. "To receive" is to come into
possession of: to act as receptacle or container for; to accept
as authoritative or true. The difference is that between
acting and being acted-upon, and for women it can literally
mean the difference between life and death…. The difference
between a life lived actively, and a life of passive drifting and
dispersal of energies, is an immense difference.
