I always thought of a cyborg as being a robot but Haraway gives the correct defintion. A cyborg is actually both robot and human at the same time. This is similar in how people and animals are the same thing. I never looked at a cyborg like that. She explains how women are being oppressed and that looking at the problem as a women's problem is not the right thing to do. She wants women to be treated equally. This will only be achieved if men begin to look at women differently.
The cyborg idea is a result of the dualism in people. For example, mind/body. This makes Haraway wonder why women get put into one category if they are obviously more than that. She feels that the oppression will only end once men realize that all women are not the same
