You are Michel Foucault! You wrote groundbreaking
histories of prisons, hospitals, asylums, and
sex. Interestingly, you thought basically the
same thing about all of them. Your historical
accuracy is a bit dodgy, but that was never
really the point. You were very obsessed with
power roles - so obsessed that you frequented
gay S&M clubs, and died of AIDS in 1984.
What 20th Century Theorist are you?

Okay, that was way rad until that poorly constructed last sentence which implies that Foucault's "obsession" with power dynamics drove him to those simply horrid! SM clubs. The way that last thing is phrased makes it seem like he got AIDS as some sort of sad but perhaps deserved consequence to fucking men and fucking with power. Pah.
And now, I'm going to the library.
