Amanda Filchock (she/her) commented on the post, Music-Activated Vibrator, on the site Unruly Bodies

Tue, 22 Jun 2021 02:23:23 -0400

There’s a silly scene in the not great movie ‘The Ugly Truth’ where the female lead wears a remote-controlled vibrator to a group dinner and the male lead has the remote and the control in the palm of his hand. I […]

Tue, 22 Jun 2021 02:10:32 -0400

This technology is fascinating. It opens up so many conversations and thoughts around ethics and medicine. I can see so many benefits to this kind of technology for women who are unable to safely carry a child in […]

Amanda Filchock (she/her) commented on the post, Arca's "Nonbinary", on the site Unruly Bodies

Mon, 21 Jun 2021 16:16:02 -0400

I had never heard of Arca, so thanks for sharing this! Agreed with others before me: she’s using technology and art to push boundaries and break traditional molds of beauty and feminism. She sings, “What a treat […]

After reading the Cuboniks piece, I was reminded of an article in the New York Times that explained how everyone suffered from Zoom fatigue during the pandemic, but women are feeling the technological effects […]

Definitely mixed feelings about the robot crime-fighting dog. I see benefit in using it in places where it’s not completely safe for humans to enter: dismantling bombs, burning building, active shooter/hostage […]

Wed, 16 Jun 2021 17:28:08 -0400

I have to admit I don’t have much knowledge of the effects of Alzheimer’s and recommended treatments, but I have to agree with a few others who mentioned it might not be too harmful IF the recorded content is only […]

Amanda Filchock (she/her) commented on the post, 6/16 - Coded Bias Documentary, on the site Unruly Bodies

Wed, 16 Jun 2021 14:55:51 -0400

This documentary has been on my watch list for a while now and I’m bumping it to the top! The quote, “the future is already here—it’s just not very evenly distributed”, and your multi explanations on it are ver […]

Amanda Filchock (she/her) commented on the post, Plastic Surgery, Medical Tourism, and the Cyborg, on the site Unruly Bodies

Mon, 14 Jun 2021 02:13:57 -0400

Oh this is such a great question and I’ve been changing my opinion back and forth so many times. I think I would say that yes, plastic surgery would contribute to someone being a cyborg. It’s a form of medical […]

Amanda Filchock (she/her) commented on the post, Transhumanism and the illusion of control, on the site Unruly Bodies

Mon, 14 Jun 2021 01:37:44 -0400

Really insightful post that connects to so much from last week as well as this week’s readings. I agree with others who questioned how much control we really want these new devices to have on our bodies. I’m sure […]

Amanda Filchock (she/her) commented on the post, Black Women in Pornography, on the site Unruly Bodies

Fri, 11 Jun 2021 02:03:40 -0400

Your finding that Black women are less likely to be cast in roles showcasing female pleasure is particularly heartbreaking. Because they’re cast in dehumanizing roles as the “whore” who deserves violent sexual […]

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 01:37:20 -0400

I agree with Kelly that after reading your typed description, I did not imagine that the reflection would be that visible. It’s almost crisp, showing off the gleaming and spotless windows – no doubt indicating a […]

Amanda Filchock (she/her) commented on the post, "You Are So Brave", on the site Unruly Bodies

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 00:56:14 -0400

It seems like there’s a contrast with how people will react when someone with a body shape or appearance steps out into public. Either a) “you’re so brave” or b) “ugh, you’re taking up too much space/making me […]

Amanda Filchock (she/her) commented on the post, The Advertiser's Gaze, on the site Unruly Bodies

Sun, 06 Jun 2021 13:25:09 -0400

Every time I scroll through social media I see more and more of these targeted ads. I think advertisers and Instagram are getting smarter and now show me ads with a photo that looks just like something I would see […]
