In Other Words, Please Shut Up

Foucault's point was that 'sexual liberation'—as manifested in open discussions about sex—is in reality an extension of systems of power and domination that have infiltrated our most private activities. In other words, the more you bring activities previously considered non-verbal under the control of language, the more you're extending mechanisms of social control into those areas.

And we know what that means. Don't we.
