Who is the creator?

From our discussion in class about the creators of both Yod and Joseph, I have been thinking about the differenctiation between men and women doing the creating. While the male representatives in the novel did put the pieces of the two new beings together, it was really the women who gave them their personalities. This is not to say that men do not have personalities in real life, but in this novel the women seem much more in touch with who they are and their specific problems, much more so than the men. For example we hear from Shira and her grandmother about their fears in terms of how they used to be and how they are reacting in the current world. We even hear about the the creations interact with the world. In the case of the male creators, we never hear about their fears and worries unless the women and creations are discussing them. IT is as if the women are the means by which men and machien communicate. The women have deep personalities while the men appear to have very basic supperficial modes of being. I think this is most apperant with Gadi, who cannot create anything. Not only does he not create a cyborg nor a human child, but he is also incapible of having a real relationship with women. He is stuck in a childish stage based soley off of sensory perception. Everything he becomes involved with turns sour and brings about trouble. Gadi's creations are the vids that people plug themsevles into in order to feel good. He is not interested in life, only feelings.
Even so, in this desire to feel pleasure Gadi is more closely related to the female creators than the male. He at least wants to feel soemthing rather than create a tool to accomplish any ends. While Avram wants something that will protect him, Shira's relationship to Yod is not to that of a tool. Though she does use him for sexual favors and to help her retrieve her stolen child, it is her emtions that make an impact on Yod. She treates him as a sentient being eventually, and becomes attached to him, just as Gadi is attached to pleasurable senses. Would Gadi have been a better male creator than the other men in Shira's life? They were best friends, and held a true passionate love at least for a little while. While it does appear that Gadi used Shira as a tool to impliment his sexual pleasure early on as a child, he did have some attachment to her. Im not sure that the emotional side of Gadi would be enough to make him like a female creator in the way the author was suggesting. He was too in love with himself to make room for other people. While he did thrive in pleasure, he did not care to share that with anyone. It was the sharing that made Shira and her grandmother different from the other creators. Avram and Juda were selfish, with purpose built into life. They held no intention of sharing their human like toys. Gadi had no intention in sharing his love. The women not only created, but they shared and partook of the enjoyments that accompany being emotional creatures.
