" Furthermore, feminist interpretations see technology as the ultimate manifestation of “man’s obsessive quest for knowledge,” which Charlotte Hooper worries could provide new agendas for “hegemonic masculinities to colonize.”[51] That is to say that technology provides a way for the masculinized military to gather intelligence and wage war, thereby perpetuating hegemony."

"Man's obsessive quest for knowledge" needs to be rewritten to state "Man's obsessive quest for weapons"
