Patriarchy, capitalism and technology, three of the driving forces of 21st-century life, are all tightly intertwined. Threat explains why we should care and what we can do about it.

Within todays patriarchal capitalism, communication technologies are used to oppress, control, violate and exploit women. But the internet is no parallel dimension, and tools do not exist in a vacuum. Rather, they are a reflection of the economic, social and political processes behind their creation, which are highly gendered and unfair to begin with. Should it come as a surprise that the world ended up mirroring and amplifying the sexism, misogyny, and social injustice already present in our society?

The revolution, however, can offer unprecedented opportunities for womens liberation. This is why Threat, while clearly denouncing those who gain from the status quo and have so far failed to take action, also suggests a roadmap towards taking back the tech. From monopoly regulation to legal personnel training, from educational interventions to feminist initiatives in tech, we can and we must achieve justice for women and for all.
