"Late twentieth-century machines have made thoroughly ambiguous the difference between natural and artificial, mind and body, self-developing and externally designed, and many other distinctions that used to apply to organisms and machines. Our machines are disturbingly lively, and we ourselves are frighteningly inert. [...] Modern machines are quintessentially microelectronic devices: they are everywhere and they are invisible. [...] Writing, power and technology are old partners in Western stories of the origin of civilization, but miniaturization has changed our experience of the mechanism."

'''CyberFeminism''' is a philosophical and artistic movement which seeks to try and find the historical relationship between feminity and technology and to analyze it via [[File:Poststruct.png]] Post-Structuralist and [[File:Postmodernicon.png]] Postmodernist critique. CyberFeminism can broadly be said to be a part of the [[File:PostmodernFem.png]] Postmodern Feminist and [[File:Postfem.png]] Post-Feminist tendencies of the Feminist Movement and with that it can also be said that it is part of the [[File:3WF.png]] Third Wave of Feminism.

*[[File:Cyborgfem.png]] '''Cyborgian Feminism''' - Cyborgian Feminism refers to Donna Haraway's form of what is essentially proto-CyberFeminism. In this proto-CyberFeminism she analyzes the relationship women, society, and cyborgs have to each other and how cyborgs can serve to further the formation of a [[File:Post-Genderism.png]] [[Postgenderism|Postgenderist]] Society.

*[[File:VNS Matrix.png]] '''VNS Matrix Thought''' - VNS Matrix Thought refers to the ideas the art collective V(e)N(u)S Matrix had in which they combined Dadaist art, Cyborgian Feminism, and their readings of Simone de Beauvoir. As Julian Pierce put it: "In 1991, in a cozy Australian city called Adelaide, four bored girls decided to have some fun with art and French Feminist theory... with homage to Donna Haraway they began to play around with the idea of cyberfeminism." {{Refn|https://www.monoskop.org/images/7/77/First_Cyberfeminist_International_1998.pdf |group=Reference}}

One thing that is generally observed is that there is a ideological split between CyberFeminists inspired heavily by Sadie Plant and the people that inspired here and everyone else in the CyberFeminist movement. Many did not take up the Deleuzian ideas Sadie Plant espoused, but this did not result in the creation of factions since CyberFeminism was by its very definition undefinable and with that the ability to draw lines in the sand was lost.

Cyborgian Feminism is the ideology of Donna Harraway. Cyborgian Feminism asserts that through the innate connections that we have with technology we are all essentially already Cyborgs and that through this new vectors towards genderlessness are opened through the Cyborgs open-source and undefinable nature. She connects this with her theory of Feminism and Socialism.

#Replace the top left quarter of the ball with robotic parts, ideally shown as the inside of the ball with the "skin" tearing off stretching to the eye, which is robotic and glowing light red.
#In a light yellow, Draw an industrial cog in the middle, and a cross below it in the shape of a venus symbol (♀).
#Add a red bow, or alternatively a yellow flower crown with green vines, and you're done!
