My one disagreement with Stock is that she seems to equate almost all trans women as those who have a “male fetish”:autogynephilia. I am not an expert, but I suspect that male-to-female transitioning can be caused by a variety of reasons, only one of which is autogynephilia. In the ...
Not only is this a sign of lazy design, says Josie, but attempting to replicate ourselves in AI is stifling innovation and the potential of this technology. An advocate for designing AI products and systems using ethical and feminist principles, Josie argues that we should be using this ...
Any normal person would have laughed it off or made a joke out of it but as we established LONG ago I am awkward AF and not really capable of rational thought on the fly so of course I went WAY off the deep end of defensiveness and kind of screeched, “why are you monitoring my ...
The problem I have with a system like that -- other than "if it's not broken, don't fix it" -- is that it makes masculine gender the default; a person is assumed male unless otherwise specified. This is standard practice in Romance languages and others, but since we're talking about...
I have not exactly left the ranks of full-time career women: I teach a full course load; write regular print and online columns on foreign policy; give 40 to 50 speeches a year; appear regularly on TV and radio; and am working on a new academic book. But I routinely got reactions ...

“I am very happy that we have developed a system that I think can truly revolutionise the industry, first of all for the benefit of the chickens but also for all of us, because this is an issue that affects every person on the planet,” he said. ...
I must confess that I hadn't read my material for many years and--though I expected to find it quite significant for our current times--I am blown by just how significant it in fact is. I almost wish I'd let Herder & Herder publish it back in '70. But as you can see from the...
For example, a common term used by pro-lifers is the word “preborn” rather than the word “un-born,” which indicates something that isn’t going to happen (i.e. work left un-done) rather than something that has not yet happened. “Preborn” emphasizes the ongoing development of ...
The album was donated to the photography collection of the Royal Library in Copenhagen after the deaths of the parents, so as a researcher I have no direct access to the producers/owners of it and I am thus not able to do an ethnographical fieldwork study of it. Instead I focus on ...
