Home > Philosophy > Deconstruction > Post-structuralism > Feminist Post-Structuralism

This is an area of post-structuralist thought that focuses on gender and sexuality, and the ways in which these categories are constructed and enforced through language and social norms. Feminist post-structuralists such as Judith Butler and Luce Irigaray have argued for a radical reconceptualization of gender and sexuality, challenging traditional biological and psychological models.
