What is so deceptive about the organic that we have to now separate ourselves from it even further and code ourselves cyborg? Am I just being stupid and lunatic to ally myself with witches trees and the moon? I know there is an essential dualism in our culture between culture/nature and it’s way too easy to put all the ecstatic magick onto some female Nature...Haraway rightly says,”American radical feminists like Susan Griffin, Audre Lorde, and Adrienne Rich have profoundly affected our political imaginations- and perhaps restricted too much what we allow as a friendly body and political language,” pointing out that they “insist on the organic, opposing it to the technological...but their symbolic systems and the related positions of ecofeminism and feminist paganism, replete with organicisms, can only be understood as oppositional ideologies fitting the late 20th century.” And look, I know that there’s this sweeping savior aspect of ecofeminism where technology=evil and goddess=nature, but I do meet Goddess embodied in this world and am I lending myself rendering myself a tool for patriarchal domination by insisting that yes, this world is holy?
