This is dime store philosophy and misconstrues Foucault. Foucault was not a "liberal" in the American sense or a feminist.
Say what you want about the guy, but Foucault nailed today's state - he noted its origins in the Panopticon and described it as "the therapeutic state."
His description of the contemporary state as the Panopticon seems very relevant now.
Read Discipline and Punish, The History of Sexuality, and The Birth of the Clinic and get back to us.
