This is a great piece, and really interesting to think about the difference between male and female dolls (or how even as children, we’re initiated into this doll concept in a gendered way), and the difference between gendered machines, like androids, Siri.

This also made me think about the outsourcing of “care” in the body of a doll: usually as children, we’re taught to care for dolls, and as adults the doll in turn becomes something that can care for us (where care has been sexualized)? I mentioned the movie “Her” briefly in my probe, and your probe made me also wonder, what would happen if it was a “Him” instead?
