长期以来，对技术的掌握一直被视为男性权力的一个关键来源，这反映在工作和家庭中的性别差异上。然而，在新的数字时代，许多当代女权主义者认为，技术和男性特权之间的联系最终被切断了。早期的第二波女权主义强调嵌入式技术与资本主义和父权制关系的关系，而网络女权主义则认为网络空间和互联网的虚拟性意味着性别差异的具体基础的终结，从而解放了女性。本文提出了悲观和乐观的观点，借鉴技术的社会研究。这里提倡的技术女权主义方法承认性别与技术的关系正在迅速变化，同时强调这是女权主义政治的结果，而不是技术本身。
ABSTRACT Mastery over technology has long been seen as a key source of power for men, reflected in hierarchies of sexual difference at work and at home. However, in the new digital age, many contemporary feminists surmise that the link between technology and male privilege is finally being severed. While early second-wave feminism stressed how embedded technology is with capitalist and patriarchal relations, cyberfeminism conceives of the virtuality of cyberspace and the Internet as spelling the end of the embodied basis for sex difference and thus liberating for women. This article presents both pessimistic and optimistic perspectives, drawing on the social studies of technology. The technofeminist approach advocated here recognises that the gender-technology relationship is rapidly changing, while emphasising that this is the result of feminist politics and not technology per se.
