A femisist view on the Terminator

This week, I've read A Cyborg Manifesto written by Donna Haraway. Haraway is a feminist, and in this article she analyse woman's situation the high technological world we are now living in.

A cyborg is a mix of machine and man (i.e. Arnold in Terminator). Ms. Haraway uses this term to "brush aside the old binary ontologies of, for example, male/female, white/black...", arguing that in all such oppositions, the feminists has privileged the 'underdog'. She has a list of transitional words from the 'old hierarchical domintations to the scary new networks', These new networks she calls "informatics of domination". Here's some key terms in my opinion:

Mind - Artificial Intelligence
Second World War - Star Wars
Reproduction - Replication
Sex - Generic Engineering
Bourgeois novel, realism - Science Fiction, postmodernism.

We can see that the right sided words are not natural, but rather biotechnological and 'factory made'. Haraway uses this list to demonstrate how the society has changed, and to illustrate the difference between man and machine. Another media text we can use for this comparison is the film Kôkaku kidôtai by Mamoru Oshii. This film contains cyborgs, DNA merger and more.
