After reading the “You Are Cyborg” I understand better what Donna Haraway was trying to say in her “Cyborg Manifesto”. It is that we as a society are reliant on technologies. That we have become so dependant on these technologies, that they are a part of us –making us cyborgs. Even though I understand what Miss Haraway was/is saying, I still have a problem with some of the things in her Cyborg Manifesto, such as when she says “…teaching modern Christian Creationism should be fought as a form of child abuse.”
I do understand that she is trying to say that in a technological and scientific world this teaching of creation does not fit.

Actually, she's taking a swipe at all mythos-based ways of believing (both religion and feminism). She's definitely edgy about that kind of stuff.
