    Haraway's work has been criticized for being "methodologically vague" and for using "opaque" language, which often seemed to conceal meanings in a deliberate manner. This theme of criticism continues through most of her work, but was very apparent with her Cyborg Manifesto. Many people have critiqued her understanding of the scientific method as well.
