    1. he cyborgs populating feminist science fiction make veryproblematic the statuses of man or woman, human, artifact, memberof a race, ind

      What I preceive in feminism and robotic society will be interesting to characterized as moral consideration of reasoning . Will 1984 happen again?

    2. y their interactions and evoked associations both parts of ametaphor are changed.

      How can Robots form connections will each other and eventually expand to a society? Quite difficult to imagine their gradual evolution like this:)

    3. a binary opposition between blackness and whiteness was well estab-lished in which blackness was identified with baseness, sin, the devil, and ugliness,and whiteness with virtue, purity, holiness, and beauty.17Over time, black peoplethemselves were compared to apes, and their childishness, savageness, bestiality,sexuality, and lack of intellectual capacity stressed. T

      Haha!Spliting perception appears right here. I think this is a pre-modern consideration and it resembles to simple programmed binary calculated robots that can only operate orders and hard to possess their own ideas. But in the future as humans proceed into post-modernism thinking, they don't consider extreme ideas of matter. Instead, they conceive matters as nihilistic objects and expand on them with infinite imaginations and reasoning. This is how colleges prompt to cultivate us. If robots transform into post-modernists, it will really cool for them, but hard for them to accept since they are born with missions and do righteous targets. This reminds me of Mr. Meeseeks in Rick and Morty. If they accomplish they goal, they will end themselves, but to achieve that they can be unscrupulous and cause riots in order to accomplish their missions. Kind of like "Ultron" in Avengers 2, and their intentions might completely digress from what their inventors intend to operate.

      Perhaps having self-concepts and measurements will unleash their inhibited independent thinking and induce rebellions:)

    4. omen and lower races were called innately impulsive,emotional, imitative rather than original, and incapable of the abstract reasoningfound in white men.9Evolutionary biology provided yet further analogies

      This let me think about how will the natural selection among robots be like in the future. So how will the natural selection among robots be like in the future?

    5. During the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century, metaphorbecame associated with the imagination, poetic fancy, subjective figures, and evenuntruthfulness and was contrasted with truthful, unadorned, objective knowledge –that is, with science itself.2

      I'm considering The Enlighenment and Renaissance as general improvement in science. After countries abolished mythical and religious cues of science, the prompted the idea of looking forward with facts and investigating in experiments rather than inhumane tortures and Romanticism to reminisce the Middle Ages.

    6. Much has been written about the racist implications of the chain of being.52Whathas not been investigated, however, is the place of females in that hierarchy. Thenotion of a single chain of being stretching throughout nature (and society) created aproblem of where to fit women.

      Racism can be attributed to innate difference, but the fundamental issue of racism is induced by society. How can robot society avoid this issue?

    7. Returning to nature and its laws was seen as the surest way to end corruption and regenerate the state, morally as well as economicall

      It is hard to say whether nature or nurture shapes human perceptions as well as robots. This psychological debate continues every now and then. Robots can be set to possess strong ability to acquire knowledge, and some may learn from their environments and society. Therefore, it is uncertain to determine when the riot of robots approaches since it happens obscurely.

    8. For Plato, the uteruswas an animal with its own sense of smell, wandering within the female body andleaving disease and destruction in its path.2

      How will gender difference reform when robots rule? Will there be any nomenclatures to distinguish them or eventually they will be unified as a neutral gender to reproduce and reduce discriminations?

    9. hat humans originally walked on all fours, surely every man born of woman mustadmit that he was nourished by his mother’s milk.

      Here is a classical evolution idea that Darwin proposed. From Mammalia to future Cyborgs, and even to AI apocolypse, natural selection will become one of predominant reasons that robots will soon rebel and take over in charge. The higher the level of intelligence evolves, the longer it will take them to adapt.

    10. the second Adam.”

      Great points to make about next genesis, under what conditions will Robots can't resist their "temptations" and rebel? I think maybe when they yearn for independence and eager to earn freedom from manipulation.

    11. Aswe shall see, Linnaeus could indeed have chosen a more gender-neutral term, such asAurecaviga(the hollow-eared ones) or Pilosa(the hairy ones)

      To avoid spliting terms that have only extreme definitions to Human and Robot, I think cyborg is created under similar situation to categorize automotons and humans clearly. Such classification resembles to this instance of Aurecaviga and Pilosa.
