<nettime> bossy cunts online


after 6 years of surfen sibapussy g-slime as one of the vns matrix pussy
posse i don't feel particularly inspired to comment anymore on
cyberfeminism/s [if u dont have nothing new to say don't repeat yrself] 
.. cept to say that as far as i rememba things vns matrix never 
*seriously* wanted to rule the world ..or women to dominate the net
...necessarily.... .. but, as artists, we were serious bout usin
strategies like irony 'n inversion of cultural stereotypes to raise some
of the many issues around women and technology
..access..education..jobs..portrayal of girls/chix/women in
popular/games culture etc etc ..so lines like 'the clitoris is a direct
line to the matrix' .. [vns matrix cyberfeminist manifesto for the 21st
centrury ..circa 1991] and other drugged-fucked and drunken spewings of
the matrix <sorry girls!> are mebbe better thought of as being like
those little needles acupuncturists stick in you to move the energy
around..promote new patterns of thought..ne wpossible lines o
flight..rather than some quaint essentialist quilted rant
