Woman as a Robot Doll, our mutual strangeness

This week we have explored a topic that I would imagine most people don't spend a whole lot of time contemplating, and we contemplate these themes consistently in our daily lives. Parents lament their children idolizing stereotypical celebrities and images in magazines that do not represent the people that we know in our daily lives. Women find themselves subject to prejudices that have held throughout the history of mankind. And yet, women are no less able to understand what makes the men in their lives tick. I would even daresay that women look at men in much the same manner that men look at women, albeit in a much subtler manner.
With that I think that although this weeks topic focuses on women as robots, it could easily be the other way around, and we need to both be understanding of the opposite sex. Only when we attempt to open ourselves to understanding the opposite can we begin to understand the self and our roles as men and women and our relation to them in our human journey.

"In our mutual strangeness, men and women can be doorways one for another, openings into the creative mystery, that we share by virtue of our existence in the flesh."(Sanders 62)
