unfortunately im not Literally Her (tho she is here lmao) im but just a rowdy kunt here for funhousing.

I can go ahead and quote nyx here tho from an earlier chat around this thread:

"To understand why femininity you would have to understand the connection Plant draws between zero/computers and women, which I attempt to illustrate with decentralization/free software/left-hand path, wherein essentially the masculine is the human subject and the feminine is what is objectified. So much like computers are initially objects that are intended to be wielded instrumentally by humans (men) towards the advancement of civilization and human goals, and end up having unintended emergent consequences like AI, femininity is connected to that process where what is initially intended for reproduction (in the broadest sense of the term) ends up becoming an autonomous object."

I hope this answers ur question in detail since I haven't gotten into cyberfeminism to critically bring it myself, let alone word it in a way id feel satisfyingly encompasses it.

That said, to add to this, I feel regardless of one’s stance on the veracity of what characteristics are male and which are female or if gendering characteristics is even valid, its pretty evident that what’s ascribed to as feminine and, well to be honest, woman, is reduced to the place of object which produces an incidental commonality between machine and woman in the established role we are intended to uphold for male or patriarchal legacy in perpetuity.

This combined with the observable influence (trans)women have in tech, and quite remarkably, this month’s situation at google where the AI ethics oversight committee at google had a conservative member thrown out from the activism of a group of trans coders at google… kinda demonstrates the trajectory at hand here, toward a feminized future, where transwomen hold a disproportionate level of influence over.
