In relation to sexual politics, female cyborg challenge the notion of patriarchal values of reproduction, labor and pleasure. Cyborg modifications enabled them to adapt to the human environment emanating male hysteria towards female cyborg skills of self-reproduction (cybernetic re-enhancements). Female cyborgs also have the superior capability of providing physical pleasure and pain. Production of the female cyborgs goes beyond a reflection of their creator. They embody the visibility of hybrid identities and the organic symbiosis of human and machine. The female cyborg contests and retaliates against patriarchal values and the colonial mentality of fixed margins.
