Feminist Theories of Technology

 

After reading Wacjman’s chapter, “Feminist Theories of Technology,” and Todd’s commentary, “GamerGate and Resistance to the Diversification of Gaming Culture,” in the Required Learning Materials, please do the following:
1. Briefly explain three things that you learned from these resources that have contributed to the tendency to relate technology to the male gender and stereotypes about gender and technology?
2. Identify one of your perceptions about technology and gender and explain why you might hold that idea.
3. Finally, discuss why you think there can be such resistance, as exemplified by #Gamergate when genders other than male attempt to participate in creating and using technology?
