Gloria Steinem‚ who is said to be the great american feminist‚ wrote the article “If Men Could Menstruate” in a 1978 issue of Ms. Magazine.

1 Could a machine be conscious? This question is often dismissed as simple by those that would say “yes” in response. The usual claim made by the pro camp is that man is a ‘biological machine’ and is conscious‚ ergo‚ a machine is conscious.
