Katrina Thralls-Technology as Stereotypically Gendered

It’s interesting to me that the stereotypes of men and women relate to a literate and oral society respectively. Men are considered on the cusp of technology, which is why most of the engineers in this country are men. Women, on the other hand, are considered to be excellent at communicating orally, which is part of why you see so many women in the humanities. Women are also seen as the nurturers and seen as more spiritual, which are things that are focused on in primal cultures. Of course, these are only generalizations which say nothing about an individual’s ability in either capacity, but these are images you see in society.
