SO the idea that masculine hacking or feminine hacking, can't be understood
in my view without reference to the goal or intention of the hacking.
Think of the difference between being transgressive, bricolage-making,
counter-designing, "creative" etc. and what these labels assume about the
authorities that they transgress against. Transgression, pr se, is that
a moral good?
I think that leaving the identity of hacker as somekind of modern heroic
form (whatever the gender id or cachet) is pretty hasty pudding.
