Isn't rather that the gender difference in power relaitions is not what
Foucault is after,m or even a main part of it? Here's why? The
differences in power between genders is something that has been around for
a long time, much longer than the deployment of sexuality which F aims at
in Hist of Sex. So he is looking at something quite different. Now an
interesting genealogy might be one which looks at how this unequal power
relationship serves interests other than the "male" one. It seems to me,
and of course I might be biased or overlooking something here, that men are
victims to the power relationships between men and women also- just in
different ways.
