In this essay, Haraway claims that a boundary being confused is pleasurable and that their construction is our responsibility. She also believes that “a slightly perverse shift of perspective might better enable us to contest for meanings, as well as for other forms of power and pleasure in technologically mediated societies.” Her argument has been successful and in some ways foundational, because it is more accessible to Americans than those of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. I thought that it was interesting that Haraway claimed that socialist-feminism advanced by allying itself with Marxist strategies. My favorite part of her essay was the closing: “Though both are bound in the spiral dance, I would rather be a Cyborg than a goddess.”
