I took a gender in politics course, and my professor had this deep interest in Foucault and his ideals on gender. I took the class a while ago, but what I remember Foucault was very much about the fluidity of structure. He believe that we constructed almost everything in reality, and because of this need to structure/categorize we were holding ourselves down. Although I don't remember us ever deciding what Foucault's end goal was. I'm wondering if you could shed some light on anything I've missed, and your perspective on Foucault. I mean in the class we studied gender and its place in different societal structures across the ages, and I remember distinctly that no one in my class had any idea how Foucault would structure society.
