    From a socialist perspective, Donna contributed to the over representation of masculinity in scientific culture. In this regard, Donna (117) describes a cyborg as "a hybrid of machine and organism," highlighting the need for equality and gender neutrality. As represented in Cher's music, "Believe," cyborgs have no gender and should be treated equally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZXRV4MezEw.

    As related to Donna's first work, cyborg feminism refers to a "creature in a post-gender world" (Haraway, 120). As opposed to distinct genders, the cyborg is a higher being, often described as genderless. Donna's description of cyborg feminism contributed to modern perceptions of the feminism movement, focused on equality and eliminating racial, ethnic, and most importantly, gender discrimination and discrepancies. Like cyborgs, all humans should be regarded equal.

    In Primate Visions, Haraway examined gender bias in nature examination. One of the primary claims made in the publication is that females are often represented as submissive, while males are aggressive and dominant, supporting a "rape culture" where women are seen as inferior and as subjects to men. Primate vision is a crucial contribution to the discussion on equality and representing people equally. The focus is on eliminating male dominance in research.

    The panel continued Donna's work on feminism. The work's primary point is reducing population levels, owing to the negative effects of overpopulation on the environment. The assumption is that pollution, resource scarcity, and diseases significantly reduce the quality of life. In such a case, people should make babies that they can afford to give a good life. Haraway advocates for family planning as a crucial aspect improving the quality of life and reducing human suffering.
