Abstract

In this paper, we offer an outline of a feminist approach to considering the issue of extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI). Dominant ways of discussing ETI, particularly first-contact scenarios and protocols, are characterized by what feminism terms male bias. As with other cultural texts and disciplines, ETI studies can also be enriched by a feminist perspective. In this paper, we propose two possible applications of a feminist approach to considering ETI, such as using feminist categories to analyse our discourse about ETI, as well as understanding ETI in terms of sex and gender. We also propose a vision of ETI as genderless.

思考外星智慧的女权主义和性别

在本文中，我们提供了一个女权主义的方法来考虑外星智慧(ETI)的问题概述。讨论ETI的主要方式，特别是第一次接触的场景和协议，以女权主义所说的男性偏见为特征。与其他文化文本和学科一样，ETI研究也可以通过女权主义的视角来丰富。在本文中，我们提出了女权主义方法在考虑ETI方面的两种可能应用，例如使用女权主义类别来分析我们关于ETI的话语，以及从性别和社会性别的角度来理解ETI。我们还提出了一个无性别的ETI愿景。
