Women, Cyborgs, and the Glitches of Racism

What is the stigma in today’s world of women in science and technology? It has constantly been a struggle for women to thrive in this field mainly dominated by men. Haraway has a concept that if women were to be a cyborg; would give a poetic meaning to a political body in a feminist approach to high technology culture. We see women in online gaming communicate with complete strangers where there happens to be a lot more trolling. These “glitches of racism” has taken over emotions that we never knew we had; creating another level of social anxiety.

This predicament has become barbaric. Purposely creating conflict by using foul language, anonymous usernames with or without a real profile pictures, and posting to target someone is unacceptable. Our youth is our future and if this is our future where will technology go?
