Foucault's basic thesis was that sexuality has been historically constructed by "sexologists" who have attempted to make sexuality their own privileged center of knowledge. Foucault's views were connected to the issue of sexuality being the site of power in the sense that it brought to light that sexuality in general was defined by certain forces. The interest of this paper is how these forces have shaped sexual identity in the context of sexual inequality. Thus, while Foucault concentrated on how society historically tried to define the "abnormality" in sexuality, this paper's interest in the connected issue of how these forces simultaneously worked to disempower women for the sake of exploitation. 5 pgs. 8 f/c. 3b.
