The way that Judy Wajcman comes within a hair's breadth of predicting the modern GC neoreaction.

The view that Western technology itself embodies patriar- chal values, and that its project is the domination and control of women and nature, is an important precept of radical feminism, cultural feminism and eco-feminism. These feminisms emphasize gender difference and cele brate what they see as specifically feminine, such as women's greater humanism, pacifism, nurturance and spir- itual development. The idea that what is specifically fem.

inine is socially produced was abandoned, and notions of ineradicable difference flourished. This approach has been particularly influential in relation to the technologies of human biological reproduction. It is fuelled by the per- ception that the processes of pregnancy and childbirth are directed and controlled by ever more sophisticated and intrusive technologies. Radical feminists' strong op- position to the development of the new reproductive technologies reflects fears of patriarchal exploitation of women's bodies. Central to this analysis is a concept of reproduction as a natural process, inherent in women alone, and a theory of technology as an agent of

patriarchy.

Of course while I'm looking back in time at Judy Wajcman's impressions of the generated dimension of the information age coming into being, she's looking back at the predictions and philosophical reactions to the idea of the post industrial age and seeing similar echoes

According to globalization gurus such as Anthony Giddens and Manuel Castells, states and societies across the world are experiencing historically unprecedented change as they try to adapt to a more interconnected but highly uncertain world.' Prominence is given to the inten- sity, extensity and velocity of global flows, interactions and networks embracing all social domains. In the 'informa- tion society' or 'knowledge economy', the dominant form of work becomes information- and knowledge-based. At the same time leisure, education, family relationships and personal identities are seen as moulded by the pressures exerted by, and opportunities arising from, the new technical forces. For these writers, such changes entail the breakup of hierarchical arrangements and herald a new post-traditional network society.

These ideas or ideas like them are now common- place in sociology, and I foreground them here to illustrate the centrality of technology to contemporary theories of social, cultural and economic change. There are strong echoes of the earlier 'post-industrial society' thesis in these accounts, and its tendency to adopt a technologically determinist stance. At that time, it was suggested that the industrial economy of manufacturing and factory produc- tion was being displaced by knowledge work. The old hier- archies of manual work would be replaced by more open and negotiated relationships.

Much critical writing at the time took issue with the idea of a post-industrial society, but with hindsight we can see that some of the underlying trends in the economy were well captured. The recent return to ideas of an informa- tion society and knowledge economy attests to this. Post- industrial theorists concentrated on hierarchies of class, rather than those of gender and, like their predecessors, the new theorists of technology also fail to consider whether this technological revolution might have a differ- ential impact on women and men. While the common theme is that…

technologies. The technofeminist approach I outline in the

chapeer foses the insights of cyborg feministm with ogy. I reflect on what technofeminism means both isx of the social shaping, or constructivist, theoty of uden lytical arguments and for politics. The old discourse difference has been made increasingly untenable by dramatic changes in technology, by the challenge oa nism, and by awareness of the mutating charatt the natural world. A recognition that gender and ted science are mutually constitutive opens up fresh possib ties for feminist scholarship and action. Engagement w the process of technical change must be part of the teey nation of gender power relations.

I take this as my central concern, while fully recogns ing that gender is not the only axis of social hierarchy in identity (just as there are sites not primarily marked gender). Indeed, the enormous variability in genderingh place, nationality, class, race, ethnicity, sexuality and ge eration makes a nuanced exploration of the similarge and differences between and across women's and ne experience of technoscience all the more necessaty referring to technofeminism, rather than technofeminsts then, I do not mean to imply a consensus, but rathe coming together of many diverse voices engaged in d logue, influencing each other and each being modiftd

Honestly the late 90s and early 00s were a hell of a time

As a result of the cross-fertilization, feminists have drawn on and recon- figured sociological theories that treat technology as a sociotechnical product that is, as shaped in the social relations that produce and use it. We have begun to con ceive of a mutually shaping relationship between gender and technology, in which technology is both a source and a consequence of gender relations. This is what I will describe as the emerging technofeminist framework. An emphasis on the contingency and heterogeneity of techno- logical change helps to locate its possibilities in wider social networks. Such an analysis introduces space for women's agency in transforming technologies.

Into this space came cyberfeminism. The cultural turn against determinist arguments, emphasizing subjectivity and agency, generates a utopian perspective. This is par- ticularly characteristic of post-feminist cultural theories of technology, the subject of the third chapter. A common argument here is that the digital revolution heralds the decline of traditional institutional practices and power bases including patriarchal power. The virtuality of cyberspace is seen to spell the end of naturalized, biologi- cal embodiment as the basis for gender difference. The Internet is expressive of female ways of being, and thereby creates manifold opportunities for changing the woman- machine relationship. Technology itself is seen as liberat-

ing women.

Sometimes it can be useful to look at what critical feminist understanding of the technology of the future in the past looked like, how they are similar to the Cassandras of the present, how they are different and how they have been proven right or wrong.

By 2025 it was about 3.2W/m². gml.noaa.gov/aggi/aggi.html This is *despite* reductions in emissions over the years, because greenhouse gases go up in the atmosphere and it takes a very long time for them to go away. Greenhouse gases are the dominant cause of this radiative forcing increase.

Radiative forcing from the main long-lived gases (CO2, CH4, N2O) and groupings of minor gases (CFCs, HCFCs, and the HFCs primarily) is shown through 2024 in Figure 3. Carbon dioxide was by far the largest contributor to effective radiative forcing from these gases (2.33 W m2, or 66% of the total) and methane was the second largest contributor (0.57 W m2, or 16% of the total).

The film is directed by Simon Cellan Jones and written by David Coggeshall. It was produced by Apple Studios and distributed on Apple TV on November 21, 2025. Like its predecessor, it received negative reviews from critics.

Using Open Street Map speed limit data, the only roads in or out of the area they were cycling in, the roads that aren't residential back streets, are all 50-55mph. The use of speed limits on roads to insinuate that cyclists should not be using them or are at fault is fucking outrageous.

What this kind of shit reminds me of

Have you ever heard it said that a woman should be a help meet (or helpmate) to her husband? How did that make you feel? Today, my guest Elle E. Kay shares her perspective on what, exactly, being your spouse’s help meet actually means. But first, a caveat–Elle is not saying a wife must be a doormat, or that she should completely lose who God uniquely created her to be. Instead, she is expressing how she adapts her behaviors so that they have the greatest impact in conveying love and support. Hopefully, her husband is doing the same, but she has no control over that. All she can do is love her husband and love him well.

Rejoice peasants, your new government procurement rules mean the creation of junk low value jobs to fill procurement quotas but on the up side you also can't swim with your kids in nearby rivers or seas without shit floating in them.

Haigh said the old procurement system included "a whole gamut of conditions around net zero, around the environment. There were things that I think a lot of businesses would have struggled to prove, like tackling domestic abuse and improving high streets. It became quite amorphous.

The result was that "certain players could really game the system" and small and medium-sized businesses were "crowded out", she said.

The new, simplified system will apply only to contracts above £1mn, allowing SMEs and civil society organisations to avoid red tape when making smaller bids.

Technical guidance will be published this autumn and the new model will come into effect from January next year.
