"Technological conquest of the female body" led to modern feminism? You betcha. Advances in solving the causes and cures for ovarian, breast, and other cancers have liberated millions of our mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, and other women. MSW is soooo right, using a term like "technological conquest" is so loaded with explosive bias that it blasts off the page, in the process destroying rationality, open-mindedness,  and credibility in its wake.
