A feminist server…
Treats network technology as part of a social reality…At the risk of exposing her own insecurity, opens up processes, tools, sources, habits, patterns…Radically questions the conditions for serving and service; experiments with changing client – server relations where she can, knows that vulnerability is not an alibi…
Does not confuse a sense of false security with providing a safe place…Tries hard not to apologise when she is sometimes not available.
